CM2 MeshTools SDK

current version: 5.4.1 (March 2024)

Modern, Reliable, Powerful and Fast Mesh Generators for your FEA/CGI Applications

CM2 MeshTools SDK is a powerful C++ library (Software Development Kit) for mesh generation designed for independent software vendors (ISV) and research departments involved in CAD/CAE computations.

CM2 MeshTools SDK provides strong and reliable foundations to power the most demanding Finite Element Analysis (FEA) or Computer-Generated Imagery (CGI) applications.

The SDK includes plane meshers, surface meshers, solid meshers and specialized tools.

Surface Meshers

CM2 SurfRemesh® T3

CM2 SurfRemesh® T3

CM2 SurfRemesh T3 is the surface triangle remesher from the CM2 MeshTools SDK. The initial surface is defined by an all-triangle mesh (STL-mesh, deformed mesh, mesh too coarse or too fine…)
CM2 SurfRemesh T3 can improve/regenerate the input surface mesh for CM2 TetraMesh Iso or CM2 TetraMesh Aniso for instance.

CM2 SurfRemesh® Q4

CM2 SurfRemesh® Q4

CM2 SurfRemesh Q4 is the surface all-quad/quad-dominant remesher from the CM2 MeshTools SDK. The initial surface is defined by an all-triangle mesh (STL-mesh, deformed mesh, mesh too coarse or too fine…)
CM2 SurfRemesh Q4 can improve/regenerate the input surface mesh for CM2 HexaMesh Iso for instance.

Solid Meshers

CM2 HexaMesh® Iso

CM2 HexaMesh® Iso

CM2 HexaMesh Iso is the Delaunay solid isotropic hex-dominant mesh generator from the CM2 MeshTools SDK for solid hybrid bricks (hexahedrons) / wedges (prisms) / pyramids / tetrahedrons meshes.
CM2 HexaMesh Iso can fill the volume(s) inside the surface mesh generated by CM2 SurfMesh Q4 or CM2 SurfRemesh Q4 for instance.

Specialized Tools

CM2 Intersect® T3

CM2 Intersect® T3

CM2 Intersect T3 is the surface triangle mesh repairer from the CM2 MeshTools SDK. The initial and final surface meshes are all-triangle meshes.
CM2 Intersect T3 can repair the input surface mesh for CM2 TetraMesh Iso for instance.

Easy + Efficient Integration

All the CM2 MeshTools SDK mesh generators have a similar interface and logic. Chain them together and produce complex meshes.

For example, start with CM2 SurfMesh T3 to create a surface mesh on the parametric model. Fix any intersections with CM2 Intersect T3 and refine locally with CM2 SurfRemesh T3. Finish with CM2 TetraMesh Iso to produce a high quality solid tetrahedral mesh.

Save IO time by directly interacting with the CM2 MeshTools SDK mesh generators: there is no complex file format.

Strong Foundations

CM2 MeshTools SDK has been regularly enhanced and improved since its first release to market in 1999.
Our latest edition, version 5.3.0, was released in November 2022.
