PrePoMax & CalculiX - Transfinite volume meshes

A demonstration of preparing transfinite/mapped volume meshes using the PrePoMax pre and post-processor for the CalculiX FEM solver.

I'm from Brazil, your work is wonderful. I use PrePoMax & CalculiX to simulate top load bottle. Thank you very much.

This lecture is very perfect sir

[@zorancem]

I just want to express my appreciation - well done! Please keep pushing forward with the improvement of this software. It's truly impressive!!!!

[@naldofrasco1467]

This is so impressive Matej.
I don't know how you keep improving what is already such an excellent open source pre-post processor; but thank you so much. Incorporating Gmsh into PrePoMax is again on another level, especially the capability to mesh with hex elements

Thank you Naldo. I am happy you like it.

[@shibi1010]

Thank for the tutorial
I will try this

Hi, thanks for this, it’s very impressive. I have a question. When I export out as stl to import in blender, it will triangulate the mesh. Is there a way to maintain the quad when exporting the model?

[@MatejBorovinsek]

No, this is not possible. The .stl format only supports triangles.

[@jintat87]

@@MatejBorovinsek I see. Will there be other file types export options like obj or fbx in the future for this software development?

[@MatejBorovinsek]

⁠I was thinkig of adding support for .obj files in the past but now there is no plan to support it. And our forum is a much better place for such discussions.

[@jintat87]

@@MatejBorovinsek understandable, will post the request in the forum then. Thanks.

[@mahes173]

Could you please let us know which software was used to create the solids with multiple parts.

[@MatejBorovinsek]

I used SolidWorks but other CAD software has the same capabilities.
