Cadence Fidelity Automesh

Speed-Up Engineering Time

Our CAD preparation technology turns almost any CAD or STL into a watertight geometry in record time. Once a watertight geometry model is prepared, the mesh can be created in parallel on distributed memory for meshes to be generated on several computers or clusters at the same time. As a result, millions of cells can be created in minutes. Our highly automated and customizable GUI yields instantaneous feedback, updating, and changing workflows on-the-fly to ensure the utmost in efficiency and accuracy.

Combination of surface-to-volume and volume-to-surface mesh techniques

Automesh not only offers the choice between a volume-to-surface (no surface mesh required) or surface-to-volume approach but allows for a combination of both. This is the only mesh generator on the market to offer a complete tool kit with all best-in-class volume meshing algorithms, including:

• Full hexahedral meshes with hanging nodes

• Hex dominant meshes without hanging nodes 

• Full tetrahedral meshes

These algorithms also work on non-conformal and not-watertight CAD geometries. For surface mesh generation, Fidelity Automesh offers full triangles or quad dominant.

Hybrid structured-unstructured meshing seamlessly combined

Within Fidelity, mesh generation methods can be combined to benefit from the best of each technology, combining high accuracy with speed. The automatic multi-block structured meshing tool in Automesh offers unsurpassed speed and accuracy for rotating equipment. Additionally, Automesh provides high-quality unstructured meshing for even the most complex geometries. Various methods can be used per domain of simulation or at different places of the same object and connected via non-matching connections.

Fidelity Pointwise

Fidelity Pointwise is a complete CFD pre-processing solution from geometry model import to CFD solver input deck preparation that is closely coupled with the Fidelity Flow solvers and dozens of thirdparty flow solvers. Fidelity Pointwise generates multiblock structured hexahedral meshes, unstructured tetrahedral meshes, boundary-layer resolving hybrid meshes, including hex-core capability, overset meshes, and high-order meshes.  

Fidelity Flow for Turbomachinery

We have designed a unique toolset that encompasses a complete end-to-end solution for turbomachinery: 1D to 3D, Meshing, CFD, and Optimization, all in one single environment that displays unsurpassed ease-of-use and accuracy.

Fidelity Flow for Fluids and Thermal

Thanks to the simultaneous solution of momentum and continuity equations, the pressure-based solver (PBS) yields faster convergence compared to classical, loosely coupled, segregated pressure-based solvers. The density-based solver (DBS) allows engineers to solve multi-phase, -fluid, and -species challenges with the fastest technology on the market. The high-order solver (H-O) does this that and the other.

Fidelity Marine

Excellence in free surface resolution, trim optimization, and highly automated workflows enable CFD simulations for marine applications to solve faster and with greater degrees of accuracy than ever before. 

Fidelity Optimization

The Fidelity framework delivers multidisciplinary, multiobjective design optimization coupled with uncertainty quantification, allowing engineers to account for variability in geometry and input conditions to ensure their designs deliver optimum performance throughout the operating envelope.
