ANSA and μETA v17.x powerful pre- and post-processing for advanced CFD simulations September 2016 109 Conclusions ANSA covers all the CFD pre-processing needs in a single environment, from CAD import, to advanced model management , geometry cleanup and preparation, automated surface and volume meshing and finally morphing and optimization. It offers to the user the choice between high quality mesh generation on the geometry level and also quick meshing solutions like surface wrapping, depending on the needs and resources of the project. © Copyright 2016 BETA CAE Systems. All rights reserved ANSA provides high quality meshes for all CFD solvers, offering the possibility to make comparisons or use several codes depending on your needs and is also one common pre-processor platform for all other CAE disciplines, facilitating data exchange between different departments. µETA provides powerful automated post-processing for CFD and integrates with ANSA as a complete pre and post-processing solution for industrial applications.
