FAQs

1. Can I assign material properties to the mesh?

Yes, using Simpleware software you can assign homogeneous, placeholder, or greyscale-based material definitions to each mask in your model.

2. What mesh formats can be exported?

Software-specific exports are available for: Adina, Ansys, COMSOL, LS-DYNA, Matlab, as well as generic exports including Nastran, Patran, and VTK.

3. Can I control the mesh size?

There are many options to control the size of the type of mesh elements generated in Simpleware software. The meshes can be refined or decimated per part (image-based mask or surface object if included) and/or specific regions of interest can be generated with their own mesh settings.

4. Can I import existing volume meshes?

Yes, you can add them to exiting models, re-mesh them, assign new material properties and more.
