Development history
and next steps
RobustMesh has evolved through a series of experimental and versioned milestones, from the first meshing experiments to the current 2D implementation. Development is ongoing, with 2.5D extrusion currently being explored. RobustMesh is a personal project developed in my spare time, so development timelines and planned features are indicative rather than guaranteed.
2.5D extrusion
Extension of the existing 2D meshing pipeline through geometric extrusion of a generated 2D mesh.
- Translational extrusion
- Section rotation
- Combination of translation and rotation
- OpenFOAM export of extruded meshes
Resampling, quality and bugs
- Export of checkMesh quality fields to ParaView
- Automatic resampling of geometric fans
- Detailed display of resampling parameters
- Reporting errors during the extract-layer step
- Loss of patch type during OpenFOAM export
RobustMesh goes alpha.
First versioned alpha milestone of the 2D meshing engine.
- Complete 2D meshing workflow
- Prismatic-layer generation
- Unstructured triangular core
- Local mesh-size control
- OpenFOAM mesh export
- Interactive meshing workflow
- Initial robustness and validation work
First end-to-end prototype capable of generating a complete 2D mesh with boundary-layer elements and an unstructured triangular core.
First RobustMesh code committed, marking the beginning of this project.
