ANSYS. has been granted a patent for a computer-implemented method that prioritizes meshing of multiple objects based on the presence of “dirty model conditions.” Objects with such conditions are meshed first, resolving conflicts in favor of higher-priority objects to enhance mesh generation efficiency.

The granted patent US12073513B1 outlines a computer-implemented method and system for meshing multiple objects, focusing on the prioritization of objects based on the presence of "dirty model conditions." These conditions, which may include issues such as curve misalignment, non-manifold conditions, or topological defects, dictate that objects exhibiting such conditions are assigned a higher priority for meshing. The method involves sequentially meshing the objects according to their priority levels, ensuring that those with higher priority are processed before those with lower priority. Additionally, the meshing process may include imprinting objects onto one another, with any conflicts resolved in favor of the higher-priority object.

The patent also describes a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium containing instructions for executing the meshing operations, as well as a system comprising a data processor and memory. The system is designed to determine priority levels for each object, generate corresponding meshes, and handle conflicts during the imprinting process. Furthermore, the meshed objects can form part of an adaptive volume mesh, and the system includes capabilities for rendering visualizations of the meshed objects in a graphical user interface. This structured approach aims to enhance the efficiency and accuracy of the meshing process in computer graphics and modeling applications.
