TOMMIE™ is a parallel grid generator written in C++ and MPI that allows generation of highly controlled meshes in extremely complex geometries. The mesh construction is highly automated, and requires a minimal set of input parameters. Geometries are imported as STL (stereo-lithography) surfaces, a standard neutral format available in almost every CAD system. Grid resolution at each STL surface is specified by indicating a normal and tangential length scale. Additional constraints on the grid-size can be introduced anywhere in the domain. The resulting grid is guaranteed to satisfy the requested resolution automatically. TOMMIE meshes provide a stairstep representation of the boundaries (non-body-fitted meshes) but a prototype algorithm to perform grid projection and to generate boundary-layer-type resolution is also available. TOMMIE exports meshes that are compatible with Cascade Technologies’s solver infrastructure, as well as some commercial CFD codes (Ansys .msh format). ………………………………………………………………………………..Contact us for more information.
