Poly Hexcore Mesh Jun 2026
As computing power increased, engineers needed a better solution. Enter the poly hexcore revolution. By switching to hex-dominant meshing, engineers discovered they could reduce cell counts by up to 50% or more compared to a pure polyhedral mesh, and even more drastically compared to a tetrahedral mesh, all without sacrificing geometric fidelity.
The "core" of the mesh is filled with high-quality octree hexahedral (box-shaped) elements. These cells are ideal for resolving turbulent structures in the free stream because they are less diffusive than tetrahedral or polyhedral cells. poly hexcore mesh
