Harpoon 2.5 Details
Harpoon version 2.5, Sharc’s Extreme Mesher, has
just been released with improved meshing algorithms.
Months of work behind the scenes has resulted in new optimisation algorithms for
CFD solvers which may have had convergence problems in the past. The enhanced routines are included in the default settings of Harpoon v2.5 which also includes an option for ‘super converge’ to help with any particularly
difficult geometries
The optimisation is not necessary for all solvers
or all cases. It is very much case and solver specific.
The algorithms have been carefully developed to help
solver technologies that struggle with convergence on
complex geometry.
Other improvements include:
- Surface recovery
- Matched meshing
- Hole finding/fixing
- Surface cleaning
The figures below show the same
complex model meshed in v2.4 and v2.5 of Harpoon. Exactly
the same settings were used for the meshing and the
