Abstract

A meshing device which first divides a geometric model into a plurality of regions that can be easily meshed, and then performs meshing on a region-by-region basis. More specifically, the meshing device is a device for generating an analysis mesh model by meshing a geometric model created by a three-dimensional CAD, and includes: a hole extraction unit for extracting a hole formed in the geometric model; a region dividing unit for dividing the geometric model into a plurality of regions by utilizing the hole; and a region-by-region meshing unit for meshing the geometric model on a region-by-region basis. The meshing device is intended to reduce the number of man hours needed for meshing a large and complex geometric model.
