Frequently Asked Questions

Is TrueGrid® capable of generating a mesh for component assemblies?

Yes. There are many TrueGrid® features which allow users to work together to build a mesh.

The block boundary command enables users to easily glue two different parts together so that they have a node-for-node correspondence. One method of handling assemblies with a group of users is to first create the interfaces between the components using the block boundary feature. Then each individual working on the project must attach his or her component to the appropriate interface, guaranteeing that the parts will meet perfectly. Alternatively, if the geometry is formed initially so that everyone uses the same geometry, then it is simply a matter of concatenating the session files from each component part and then running TrueGrid® in batch mode. Parameters statements can be used to avoid conflicts in numbering.
