Where the engine
is headed.
RobustMesh is now at Alpha 0.1.1. This roadmap outlines what is available today, what comes next, and which directions may come later.
2D meshing
The current release focuses on a controlled 2D meshing workflow: high-quality prismatic layers around the geometry, joined to a triangular core and prepared for OpenFOAM.
- 2D meshing
- High-quality prismatic layers
- Triangular core mesh
- Local mesh-size control and refinement zones
- Controlled transitions between regions
- OpenFOAM-ready output
- Interactive, controlled meshing workflow
- Linux-first alpha validation and robustness work
2.5D extrusion.
The next release will introduce 2.5D extrusion through translational and angular transformations.
- 2.5D extrusion by translation
- 2.5D extrusion by angle variation
3D meshing
A planned full 3D workflow with a tetrahedral core, aiming for high-quality, near-equilateral core elements where geometry and constraints allow.
- 3D meshing
- High-quality 3D prismatic layers
- Tetracore mesh
- Local mesh-size control and refinement zones
- Controlled transitions between regions
- OpenFOAM-ready output
- Interactive, controlled meshing workflow
- Linux-first alpha validation and robustness work
Alternative 2D and 3D core strategies.
RobustMesh may investigate a range of alternative core-meshing strategies in both 2D and 3D, using different element types and topologies where useful. The exact approaches remain open.
- Explore alternative 2D and 3D core topologies
- Study different element types for complex junctions and transitions
- Evaluate topology and algorithm options
