ARE YOU THE TYPE who likes to take a peek inside the black box to see how it works? Or are you one who's willing to put your faith in the black box? The answer to that may offer clues to the type of meshing applications that appeal to you. But that's not the only factor. Your own finite element analysis (FEA) skills also play a role. Most simulation programs aimed at design engineers offer fully or almost fully automated meshing. In other words, the software makes most or all of the mesh-related decisions required. Your part may be limited to selecting the desired resolution or the level of details-fine meshing (high resolution, takes more time, but more accurate) or coarse meshing (low resolution, takes less time, but more approximations involved).
