The total meshing time by the Blended curvature-based mesher is reduced
for assemblies that have multiple identical parts.
The Blended curvature-based mesher creates the
midside nodes of the higher-order elements once, and reuses the midside node positions
across repeated identical parts, thus saving meshing time. The mesh performance
improvement is more prominent for assemblies with many repeated parts that have curved
surfaces and are meshed with a high-quality mesh.
The image shows the total mesh time reduction for an
assembly with 450 parts.
