Cimatron Mesh
A Mesh model consists of vertices, edges, and faces to create a series of planar regions called facets. These facets are polygons, including triangles and quadrilaterals, used to define a 3D shape.
The process of creating a mesh is called tessellation. Once tessellated, the mesh can be subjected to simulated stresses, strains, temperature differences, etc. for FEA (Finite Element Analysis).
A dedicated Mesh menu enables operations between Mesh Objects, offset on both closed and open Mesh Bodies, Shell, as well as Fair/Simplify (Decimate) of Mesh Bodies. In addition, it is also possible to perform Hybrid Modeling such as Boolean Operations between Mesh and Solid. Read and write Mesh Formats now include STL, VRML, OBJ (Acrobat), PLY, 3MF, and JT (read) and supports colors and textures.
