Creative Fields Releases CF-MESH+ 2.2

Creative Fields, a provider of state-of-the-art CFD meshing software, is proud to announce the release of CF-MESH+ 2.2. CF-MESH+ is a fully automated and easy-to-use CFD meshing software solution that features a powerful set of tools and functionalities for generation of quality CFD meshes in arbitrary complex geometries of industrial interest.

CF-MESH+ 2.2 is the latest CFD meshing software version developed by Creative Fields. It comprises advanced meshing workflows with an easy-to-use front-end interface allowing for superior user experience and efficiency. The implemented methodology generates meshes with millions of cells within minutes for geometries of real-world interest.

“We are proud to present to our users the latest achievements in CF-MESH+. Our focus was on helping users without much expertise in CFD meshing generate meshes with high-quality boundary layers in real-world industrial geometries.” said Franjo Juretic, Head of Development and Managing Director at Creative Fields.

CF-MESH+ 2.2 features advanced meshing capabilities that allow generation of industrial quality meshes in fully automatic fashion. The meshing setup is designed to be simple and intuitive with an easy-to-navigate graphical user interface for novice users. The volume mesh density can be controlled locally by using a multitude of refinement sources available in CF-MESH+.

  • Boundary layers: Automatic robust generation of smooth boundary layers is a very powerful feature in CF-MESH+. A simplified boundary layer setup & iterative boundary layer creation procedure is available where the user only prescribes the desired boundary layer number and thickness parameters.
  • Refinement: Simple creation of refinement regions in order to reduce the number of iterations required to generate the desired mesh is provided where the regions can be boundaries, selected patches/faces/edges/vertices, primitive objects, or auxiliary surface meshes.
  • Anisotropic meshing: Object-based anisotropic settings and anisotropic grading are available.
  • Gaps and thin features: Global and local options are available to preserve or remove cells in thin gaps.
  • Feature edges: Support of feature edges that need to be captured in the mesh.
  • Robust: Tolerant to poor surface quality. CF-MESH+ performs surface wrapping and volume meshing at the same time while requiring minimum user input.
  • Parallelisation: Most of the meshing algorithms are SMP parallelised for maximum performance.
  • Input: Triangulated surface input formats: STL, STLB, FMS.
  • Meshing Algorithms: Cartesian 2D and 3D meshes, hexahedral meshes, tetrahedral meshes and arbitrary polyhedral meshes.
  • Output mesh formats: OpenFOAM, Fluent, CGNS, AVL Fire.
