Flux Mesh Capabilities
Flux boasts the most versatile range of possibilities for generating the mesh used in FEM simulation.
Both linear and curvilinear edges are definable for the elements generated, and this affords you the
flexibility of modeling the true shapes of comoponents when it is necessary, while the industry
generally requires these edges to be faceted. Additionally you can choose whether a formulation
utilizes 1st order or 2nd order elements; this too allows you to take advantage of the speed of the
simulation by minimizing the number of nodes to solve.
Flux also provides the best capability for generating a hybrid mesh throughout the problem region.
In our Flux2D formulations you can combine both triangles and rectangles to best define the density
and distribution of the mesh profile. In our Flux3D formulations you can combine tetrahedra [4-sided],
pentahedra [5-sided], and hexahedra [6-sided] elements to best define the profile of the mesh. Also,
the faces of these solids will be described by either a triangle or rectangle as needed to maintain
the mesh continuity.
