Rapid Hex Meshing of Brake Rotors Using Engineering Templates in 3DEXPERIENCE

This video demonstrates how an engineering template in the 3DEXPERIENCE platform can streamline the hex meshing process for brake rotors. The workflow begins with placing a “dumb” geometry under an assembly. Once the template is instantiated, a new part with a FEM representation is automatically created. The user-friendly interface prompts key geometry selections, and the rotor is meshed in seconds using a combination of advanced techniques: Partition Hex Mesher, 3D Sweep Mesher, Symmetry Mesh, and Rotation Mesh. Thanks to parameterized control, remeshing with different mesh sizes takes just a few clicks—enabling rapid iterations and consistent results.
