Surface and Structured Volumetric Meshing Engine

GenMeshx

GenMeshx generates finite-element meshes for BIMWERX workflows without depending on an external meshing executable. It handles curve, shell, structured volume, and tetrahedral mesh data for downstream analysis engines.

Meshing for Real Engineering Models

GenMeshx is designed for the geometry BIMWERX products produce every day: shell models, holes and embedded constraints, ConnectFEA face-patch exports, plates, bolts, welds, steel profiles, and IGES-derived surfaces.

Strengths

Integrated Engine

Built as a BIMWERX meshing engine for GenFEA, GenFEAx, and ConnectFEA rather than a loose external utility.

Structured Connection Meshes

Generates structured volume meshes from ConnectFEA face-patch JSON covering plates, bolts, welds, and profile geometry.

Surface Detail

Supports planar shell meshing with triangle and quadrilateral workflows, holes, embedded constraints, and quality metrics.

Volume Workflows

Includes tetrahedral volume meshing from boundary models for downstream finite-element analysis.

Geometry Interop

Reads IGES data and exports clean MSH mesh files with physical groups and model-entity tags.

Quality Aware

Mesh data includes quality metrics to support diagnostics, validation, and future automated improvement passes.

A Foundation Product

GenMeshx sits beneath the user-facing BIMWERX products. Its job is to turn geometric intent into solver-ready mesh data, preserving model tags and component identity so analysis and reporting remain connected.
