Tool for auto generation of mid-surface meshes (LATONA)

Shape Recognition LATONA Automatic Mesh Generating System Tool for auto generation of mid-surface meshes mid-surface, preliminary selection of arbitrary designated surface Shape simplification (ignorance of any unwanted shape) LECTA-included
LATONA
L-type meshing process
Selection of arbitrary designated surface
mid-surface
Rib offset mode
  • Offseting rib with its original size is possible for parts indicated previously in LATONAvi pre-process.
  • Mesh other than its mid-position can be generated for parts defined previously in LATONAvi pre-process as designated-surface.

Features:

  1. Basic functions
    • Selectable mesh size
    • Various type of elements (QUAD,TRIA)
    • Good quality mesh outputy
  2. Shape recognition
    • Fillet
    • T-type, V-type, Y-type ribs, etc.
    • Small steps
  3. Shape simplification
    • Small steps
    • Ribs with thickening parts
    • Logo
  4. Others
    • Thickness measurement
    • Pre-process Navigator (LATONAvi)
    • Post-process Navigator (LATONAvi)

How to use LATONA

CAD
hm
GUI
LATONAvi
LATONAvi
There is a need to firstly convert your CAD file into HyperMesh(HM) file, and then drag&drop the HM file into LATONA graphic user interface.
In case of mid-surface meshes imperfection, LATONAvi may be used as pre-process or post-process tools to obtain better final results.
