A fully-supported, autonomous platform for meshing

Promesh™ combines state-of-the-art, open-source meshing technology into an integrated, easy-to-use, network-accessible meshing solution. Implementing several services for automated mesh generation (tri, quad, full-tet, hex-dominant, and polyhedral), physics-based adaptive refinement, accurate and conservative grid-data transfer, database format conversion, quality assessment and improvement, automated solution verification. With multiple interfaces (CLI, Python, sharable library, and soon RESTful), Promesh offers competitive standalone and integrated solutions to complex meshing problems.

The Promesh package includes automated hexahedral meshing support for geometries of interest to modeling and simulation and greatly simplifies the user experience, enabling use of modern high-fidelity methods in industry and beyond. These innovations will better serve the needs of the M&S community in addition to increasing the areas to which Promesh™ can be applied.

With Promesh, novice and expert meshing technology users receive increased access and customized automated solutions. Promesh offers generation of computation fluid dynamics and finite element method ready meshes in a completely automated fashion. Using Promesh results in a reduction of total analysis time spent on generating meshes/grids for multiphysics simulations. Promesh: an out-of-box, network accessible meshing solution for cloud and high-performance computing applications.

Promesh offers

  • Services for automated mesh generation (tri, quad, full-tet, full-hex, poly)
  • Physics-based adaptive refinement
  • Accurate and conservative grid-data transfer
  • Database format conversion
  • Quality assessment and improvement
  • Automated solution verification
  • Multiple interfaces

Our corporate focus on meshing stems from the recognition that high-quality numerical results are only obtainable from a high quality mesh — and that mesh generation frequently absorbs as much as 80% of total analysis time for a simulation project. Whether modeling physical structures, thermal and fluid mechanics, neutronics, or atomistic events, the process of mesh generation, modification, quality enhancement, and data transfer are arduous, time consuming and error prone. Promesh™ will centralizes, streamlines, and consolidates myriad meshing services and provides web-based and programmatic interfaces to access them. The unique assembly of meshing tools and services, accessible through a unified interface designed from ground up motivated by ease-of-use, will be a valuable asset to the millions of engineers and scientists that are reliant on M&S for innovating in science and industry.

Who needs Promesh?

Initially sponsored by the U.S. Department of Energy, Promesh delivers advanced, adaptive refinement solutions for high-performance, multiphysics nuclear modeling & simulation software, and offers fully integrated, automated meshing workflows for U.S. Department of Defense software. Promesh is well-suited to industrial, academic, and private sector users who are just starting to use M&S for their R&D or need to expand their use of M&S.
