HIGH QUALITY MESH IN A FRACTION OF THE TIME!TrueGrid delivers where other mesh generators fail. First, your completemodel is faithfully imported from your CAD/CAM database ready to use.Next your mesh is generated at speeds unmatched by other mesh generators.Third, you can easily modify the shape and density of your mesh bychanging a few numbers -- no need to start over. Fourth, our meshquality ensures the best analysis results for the problem, minimizing theneed for iterative runs while improving predictive capabilities. TrueGridcloses the performance gap.YOU DEFINE QUALITY -- TrueGrid ADAPTSTrueGrid builds block-structured meshes that give you the geometricflexibility of an unstructured mesh, and allow you to:

Decompose problems into manageable pieces.
Quickly produce 8-node hexahedron-element meshes from imported CAD/CAM

geometry.

Create a smooth, nearly orthogonal mesh on surfaces.
Automatically interpolate and match block interfaces.

TRUEIMPORT OF GEOMETRYTrueGrid imports trimmed surfaces and other geometry from solids modelersand CAD/CAM systems, written in the ANSI standard IGES format, withoutcomplications.Arbitrary 3D polygons can also be imported, allowing old mesh data to beused to create a quality TrueGrid mesh.COMPENSATES FOR GEOMETRIC INCONSISTENCIESFrustrations commonly encountered while importing from CAD systems andsolids modelers are eliminated. TrueGrid rapidly matches block-structured meshes to bounding surfaces regardless of how the surfaces aredefined. Its meshing capabilities work equally well on overlappingsurfaces, surfaces that don't meet, and surfaces that don't meetsmoothly. You can combine any number of complex surfaces into a singleentity. This frees you to build and modify geometric components withoutconsidering how to build the mesh.COMPLETES PERTURBED MESHES IN MINUTESOnce a TrueGrid mesh is built and the input file parametrized, it canserve as a template for generating meshes for an entire class ofproblems. You build the mess once. After that, changes in the parametersor CAD geometry are reflected automatically.MOUSE-DRIVEN TRUEINTERACTIVITYYou interactively edit the actual mesh in real time using the mouse. Ourunique highlighting and geometric-selection system makes 3D meshgeneration intuitive and enjoyable. The user directly manipulates piecesof the mesh, such as points, edges, faces, and solids. Objects areeasily selected, rotated, translated, and zoomed with the mouse.Prompts, compact dialogue boxes, and help windows are available onlinethrough a two-level menu system.BUILDS MODELS YOU CAN TRUSTSophisticated graphical diagnostics make it possible to interactivelyoptimize meshes. Boundary and initial conditions, constraints,interfaces, and materials are set and displayed onscreen. TrueGrid isthe ideal mesh generator for highly structured arbitrary mesh topologiestypically found in computational fluid dynamics and structural analyses.AVAILABLE FOR:HP, IBM, SGI, SPARC, PC.ABOUT XYZ SCIENTIFIC APPLICATIONSXYZ Scientific Applications, Inc. is dedicated to developing a trulysophisticated mesh-modeling system.
