Identify Bodies to Hex Mesh
Typically, if you look at any complex assembly. There will be number of bodies which can be or cannot be hex meshed. It is very common requirement that, we should have some automatic ways to sort out or identify bodies that can be hex meshed. This tool identifies the hex meshable bodies based on body types. Users can specify the type of hex mesh bodies for identification.
Auto Hex Mesh
Once we identify all the bodies that can be hex meshed. We need to generate hex mesh for all those bodies. This tool is used to automatically hex mesh bodies based on body types. User should specify the average and minimum element size for meshing. "Allow quad mesh transition" option generates quad mesh with transition.

Note: Auto Hex mesh tool also supports body mesh control, which means one can assign different mesh size to different bodies.
