Westland Helicopters is flying high thanks to 3-matic-Remesh technology
Following a successful benchmark case study, Westland Helicopters Limited (WHL) has decided to use 3-matic software for generating surface meshes for their CFD1 projects. WHL wished to expand the range aerodynamic data available for this helicopter beyond that accessible from wind tunnel testing. This required the generation of a new CFD model of the helicopter. During the project, Westland’s Fluid Dynamics and Environmental team faced several challenges, which they discovered could be tackled easily using 3-matic.
Cornell University swaps horses
Imagine the ability to prepare scanned human or animal geometry for CFD analysis in a few days. Cornell University,Ithaca, NY, discovered that, using Materialise’ Remesh technology, they can reduce file preparation time from several weeks to a day or two! The days of moving and reshaping triangle after triangle manually in pre-processing software are gone forever. Remesh technology enables the user to generate a surface mesh quickly. The resulting mesh is directly transformable in a volume mesh for CFD.
