Mesh with hexahedral elements

Post by Eber Saj » Sat Oct 21, 2017 10:28 am

Hello.

I'd like to know if it is possible to use Simvascular to create a mesh with hexahedral elements instead of tetrahedral.

Moreover, I'd like to create a standard mesh with tetrahedral elements and use hexahedral elements only for the Boundary Layer Meshing. Is this possible?

Thanks in advance.

Hello Eber,

Sorry, we don't support hexahedral elements in our meshing tools or in the flow solver. There are no plans in the near future to support this. We do use tetrahedral meshing for boundary layers, and it seems to work fairly well so you could consider that.
