Mesh Performance

The meshing time with the Blended curvature-based mesher is reduced for assemblies that have multiple identical parts.

This mesh enhancement is available with the SOLIDWORKS Simulation Premium and SOLIDWORKS Simulation Professional licenses.

An improved mesh algorithm based on the Blended curvature-based mesher identifies identical parts that are repeated in an assembly. The algorithm reuses the same mesh for the identical parts instead of meshing each of them independently, thus saving meshing time.

To use the improved mesh algorithm, from the Default Options > Mesh dialog box, select Reuse mesh for identical parts in an assembly (Blended curvature-based mesher only).
