CM2 MeshTools® Suite

Current version: 4.9.0
The CM2 MeshTools® is a suite of professional high-quality C++ components for 1-D, 2-D, surface and 3-D mesh generation.

The CM2 MeshTools® Suite is designed to power the modeling applications of software developing companies (ISV) and research centers specialized in scientific computations (CAD-CAE).

The Plane Meshers

The Surface Meshers

The Solid Meshers

The right solution: modern, reliable, powerful and lighting fast, the CM2 MeshTools® Suite (written in standard C++ language) is packaged as precompiled dynamic libraries, or source code, to be integrated into your applications.

Save I/O time: the CM2 MeshTools® Suite is designed to be used directly through a clear interface (C++ API or COM IDL).
You can interact directly with the meshers. No complex file format.

Royalty-free: you can redistribute your applications linked with CM2 MeshTools® (any number of applications, any number of copies) without royalties.

Get an extra boost: the CM2 MeshTools® Suite can be used very effectively with the CM2 FEM® Engines.
