ANSYS, Inc. Release Notes
The following CutCell enhancements have been made in TGrid 14.0:
General improvements have been made in the areas of feature capturing, cell sorting and quality.
Fluid and Dead CutCell zones can be automatically separated using material points. The main advantage is the ability to extract flow volumes from surrounding solid CutCell objects and capping faces.
Material points can be created, listed, and deleted.
After material point based separation, the remaining dead and solid cell zones can be automatically deleted.
Overlapping boundaries between CutCell objects are properly resolved into a single interior zone and renamed based on object priority.
Sharp trailing edges and thin regions can be resolved using two separate commands for faces and edges.
The following prism meshing enhancements have been made in TGrid 14.0:
Special corner treatment has been added to improve CutCell prism quality.
Speedup of the prism generation up to a factor of two depending on the number of layers created.
Improved quality and stability of mesh morphing as part of Cutcell prism generation.
The Cut-Tet workflow is a new approach to create a tetrahedral, hexcore, or prism mesh based on a triangulated and improved CutCell surface mesh.
The following miscellaneous enhancements have been made in TGrid 14.0:
Edge operations:
An improved algorithm for creating the intersection edge results in a speedup by a factor of 2 or more.
The ability to delete small edges has been added.
Tetrahedral Meshing Enhancements:
Tetrahedral meshing robustness has been improved.
