The mesh is made of linear hexahedral elements and is generated using the HEXAR (Cray Research, USA) automatic mesh generator that implements a grid-based meshing algorithm.
The simulation of the flow between EF and the machine nozzle requires about four million so-called hexahedral elements.
In addition, HyperMesh, Altair's product for finite element pre-processing, includes several new algorithms for tetrahedral, hexahedral, 'mesh flow' and mid-surface meshing.
