QuadMakerDownload

QuadMaker is an interactive 64-bit Windows finite element mesh generator that produces 100% quadrilateral elements (shell4) on planar and curved surfaces in 3D space. The supported shapes include flat surfaces, cylindrical surfaces, spherical surfaces, surfaces of revolution (rev), and general patch surfaces. With these types of regions, arbitrarily complex geometrical shapes can be constructed.

Supported Shapes

• Planar surface with holes, internal points, internal lines (trees)
• Cylindrical surface
• Spherical surface with 2, 3, or 4 edges
• Surface of revolution
• General patch surface
• Powerful automatic generation of planar regions and holes from selected curves

User Interface Features

• Multiple documents may be opened at the same time; each document may have multiple views with different display settings.
• Spreadsheets for input data and results.
• Graphically draw nodes and curves by mouse click or keyboard input in the command window.
• Flexible editing features such as undo/redo, duplicate, array, mirror, move, scale, and delete.
• Automatic mesh generator to produce 100% quadrilateral shells.
• Many different selection methods, such as window/point selection, selection by IDs, and selection by properties, with options to freeze or thaw parts of a model. Ability to pan, zoom, and rotate in real time.
