Multi-Threaded Meshing

To improve meshing performance, the Autodesk® CFD mesher leverages multiple computing cores. This reduces the amount of time required to generate large meshes, and better utilizes high performance computing hardware.

To enable multi-threaded meshing, enable this flag in the Flag Manager

mesh_multicore

The argument, n, is the number of cores to be used by the mesher.

Notes:

• Autodesk® CFD automatically detects and uses the available cores on the computer, up to the value specified in the flag argument.
• Multi-threaded meshing does not support Volume Growth rate and Boundary Layer blending options from the Advanced Meshing Controls dialog.
• For meshes that contain both tetrahedral and extruded (wedge) elements, Multicore meshing generates the tet elements, and single core meshing generates the extruded elements. The transition is automatic and transparent.
