An example including bottom-up meshing techniques

The following is a step-by-step example of meshing a part using a combination of top-down and bottom-up methods. The procedures and images describe one way that you can create a hexahedral mesh for this part. Before you begin, you should be familiar with top-down meshing, creating partitions, and using the Edit Mesh toolset. You should also have read the sections discussing bottom-up meshing, mesh-geometry associativity, and related techniques:

• What is bottom-up meshing?

• Bottom-up meshing methods

• Selecting parameters for a bottom-up mesh

• Creating the boundary mesh for a bottom-up region

• Improving the quality of boundary meshes for a bottom-up region

• Defining connecting sides for a bottom-up swept mesh

• Partitioning the unmeshable region and meshing the top-down regions
• Beginning the bottom-up mesh
• Continuing the bottom-up mesh
• Completing the mesh for the bottom-up region
• Checking the association of the bottom-up mesh with the geometry
• Associating the remainder of the bottom-up mesh
