3D Builder is a powerful tool for interactively creating or refining structured or unstructured 3D meshes.

Take the complexity out of meshing

IntelliSuite gives you as much control over the device meshing process as you need. On one hand, automatic meshing tools can generate near-optimal meshes while, on the other, interactive tools allow you to further refine the meshes to your hearts' content. Think of it as the Tiptronic™ of meshing tools — enabling you to switch from automatic to manual gears. Thanks to our strong attention to real-world usage patterns and ease of learning, you will be able to spend more time on the design and less time poring through manuals.

While IntelliFAB automatically generates 3D-meshed MEMS structures from process flows and mask layout information, there are times when you may want to refine meshes manually.

 

Powerful interactive mesh refinement

With 3D Builder, IntelliSuite gives you unparalleled control over the mesh creation and refinement process. 3D Builder allows you to import structured and unstructured grids in a variety of formats (ANSYS, ABAQUS, PATRAN neutral file, IntelliSuite) or start with a blank slate for creating meshed 3D structures manually.

It slices and dices!

3D Builder simplifies the creation of optimal meshes. While automated meshing methods are convenient, they have been known to produce too many elements. 3D Builder allows you to create rectilinear or polar meshes with ease. What’s more, regions can be sliced (sub-divided) using a number of algorithms. Popular refinement techniques, such as spider-web meshes, corner frame meshes or zippered slicing can be applied with a simple click of the mouse.
