The manual or semi-automatic preparation of triangular and tetrahedral meshes for simulations is a very time-consuming task. The mesh preprocessing software MERGE however masters this task fully automatically and in a considerably shorter timeframe. It takes CAD or STL data as input, repairs invalid meshes and connects them together. The small gaps between the input objects are automatically closed and even glancing intersections can be cut off. The output can be supplied in different variations, either as a mesh that minimizes the number of elements, as a mesh consisting of high-quality surface triangles, or as a conforming tetrahedral mesh, while all of these possibilities are suitable for CFD or CAE simulations. Connecting the meshes of an entire car body can be done in (as little as) a few hours and does not require any manual work.

Simulations need high quality mesh representations as input which are often manually prepared. The fully automatic mesh preprocessor software MERGE avoids this time consuming task. The software CAD or STL data as input, repairs invalid meshes and merges the input objects together. Small gaps between the input objects are automatically closed. The output surface mesh can be supplied in two different flavors, either as a mesh that minimizes the number of elements or as a mesh consisting of high quality triangles, ready for 3D meshing. A closed and connected surface mesh of an entire car body can be prepared overnight in a fully automatic manner.
