A Complete Set of Meshing Software Components

CSM and CVM represent a unified meshing solution that effortlessly combines various meshing technologies into singular, versatile components for surface (CSM) and volume (CVM) meshing. CSM delivers high-performance triangle, mixed and quadrilateral surface meshing, while CVM offers comprehensive volume meshing capabilities. Both are designed with a robust C++ interface, simplifying mesh generation and integration for complex workflows. 

CSM and CVM have unstructured surface and volume capabilities to provide fast mesh generation that accurately respects the input data (CAD or meshes). These solutions, part of our 3D Software Development Toolkits (SDKs), are provided with tightly integrated bridges to both our CGM Modeler and 3D ACIS Modeler, but the solutions are modeler agnostic.
