Automatic Grid and Mesh Generation

The Argus Open Numerical Environments also support four automatic grid and mesh generation modules. These are available through the Argus MeshMaker® modules which can be purchased separately. The Argus MeshMaker modules are fully integrated with the Argus ONE workplace as mesh and grid layers. The Argus MeshMaker modules enable you to graphically perform all needed tasks such as:

Automatically mesh and grid domains of any complexity.
Manually edit your meshes and grids.
Easily control the element size and element growth rate.
Optimize your meshes bandwidth.
Create dynamic links between your data and mesh/grid nodes, elements and blocks.
Use mesh and grid functions together with GIS, Math, Logical and other functions to build your discretized domain.
Search your meshes and grids as data bases.
Import your pre-existing meshes and grids.
Export parts of your mesh and grid.
Export your meshes and grids to any numerical models at the exact required format.

To try it yourself download our interactive tutorial or a working copy of Argus ONE with its MeshMaker modules from our ftp site.

Automatic Mesh and Grid Generation of Complex Domains

The following six screen shots are meshes and grids automatically generated by the various Argus MeshMaker modules. All six were generated with no user intervention. Local Mesh and Grid refinements were automatically set by information the mesh generation engines drew from the domain outline contour. To learn more about how the mesh generation engines work and how you can control automatic mesh generation refer to the Advanced Meshing page.

Triangular Finite Element Mesh

The elements are colored according to a value interpolated from an Information layer to the center of the element.

Triangular Finite Element Mesh

The elements are colored according to the element area using the ElementArea() function.

Orthogonal Finite Difference Grid

The blocks are colored according to a value interpolated from an Information layer to the center of the block. An Orthogonal Grid of an Aquifer
