CADNexus - CAD to CAE Integration
Streamlining CAD to Mesh for Aircraft CFD Analysis 
The Computational Simulation and Design Center (SimCenter) at Mississippi State University is collaborating with CADNexus to integrate CAPRI CAE Gateway in the SolidMesh grid generation system. The integrated solution provides users with a robust and efficient system for simulation-based design.

"CAPRI has been a very valuable tool in our latest project with Cessna Aircraft Company. Previously, the aircraft geometry was converted from the native CAD system to IGES and we had to reconstruct the topology to make it a watertight geometry. This was a very tedious and labor intensive process that took nearly two weeks of effort. On the latest project using CAPRI, we were able to import the native CAD geometry and immediately begin the grid generation process. CAPRI eliminated much of the manual intervention and streamlined the CAD-to-mesh process" comments Dr. Eric Blades of SimCenter.

The SolidMesh/AFLR unstructured grid generation software is widely used for aerospace, automotive, and naval applications. AFLR libraries are implemented directly within SolidMesh and commercial & proprietary systems such Altair HyperMesh, IDEAS and Boeing-MADCAP.
