ANSYS Meshing & ICEM/CFD
Meshing Overview
The ANSYS software suite is providing a large variety of different meshing applications, methods and approaches. The following table is an attempt to provide to LRZ users a short outline of the available meshing capabilities:
ANSYS Application | Meshing Methods | Suitable for... | Recommended Computer System for Meshing |
---|---|---|---|
ANSYS ICEM/CFD | ICEM/CFD Hexa - structured hexahedral meshes ICEM/CFD Tetra - unstructured tet/prism meshes |

ANSYS Workbench | ANSYS Meshing (incomplete list):

ANSYS ICEM/CFD Meshing
Since there is no longer a remote visulaization system available, it became rather impractical to use meshing software on LRZ HPC systems. Never the less, ICEM/CFD is made available on login nodes and can be used in scripted mode on compute nodes.
