Each body is grouped, the group is named and the name contains a String that denotes the body index ("part1 INDEX=1") Meshing parameters can be controlled from SketchUp. the indexes of boundaries can be controlled from the SketchUp model the indexes of the bodies can be controlled from the SketchUp model Bodies may be contained within other bodies one or more bodies that may have common faces It basically automates the workflow given in the Wiki for Salome in a push-button solution. I have used it for some time and am very satisfied with it. So I have written a plug-in for SketchUp that does the meshing of a complete model using Salome as a mesher. And I want my bodies and boundaries to have static indexes to reuse the. I am optimizing geometry what requires a lot of slightly different geometry to mesh. I have to see what I do and I want to do it quickly. And Salome is the only mesher that works satisfactory with multiple imported bodies.Īs an Engineer I am interested in a quick and easy to use solution. My favourite choice is SketchUp because it is free, has a very intuitive and easy to use GUI and has a scripting interface for extensions and plug ins. On the other side there are CAD tools that allow the generation of Geometry in a more intuitive form.

The mesh generators have GUIs difficult to use so often it is required to code the geometry in the form of a script.īesides the big effort this is inflexible and error prone. If the simulation geometry is complex or there are multiple bodies involved generating the mesh is a major task.
