HexCore is a fully-automatic meshing tool. The process begins with the creation of a hanging-node Cartesian mesh, ensuring comparable cell sizes close to the boundary. Then, if needed, it automatically accounts for pre-defined prism cells, giving greater fidelity. In the final step, high-quality tetrahedral cells are added in the transition area between the Cartesian core and the boundary. All the while, the mesh density variation can be controlled both globally and locally. The result is a higher quality mesh at lower computational expense.

HexCore has passed a rigorous set of 40 industrial automotive test cases of up to 7 million cells in size. “We are confident that our HexCore capability is not only the most advanced but also is exceedingly stable,” says Eklund, and he continues "We will continue to deliver more and more of these advanced meshing technologies to our users, so they can increase their productivity in this critical step of the CFD simulation process."
