PreProcessing

Covers:

  • Creating/Loading a solid model of the geometry,

  • Generating a mesh

add diagram for the classical pipeline, use kroki/mermaid

These operations may be difficult and time-consuming (up to several months to get a descent mesh). Moreover, CAD and meshing may also require a lot of CPU time and memory ressources.

The pipeline, eventually, need to be updated from the calculation if the problem is transient and/or the geometry is deformed.

Quick reminder on FEM Need for identifying volume or surface and boundary
