Sharc Harpoon 4.4d (x86/64)

Harpoon is the ideal tool for delivering high quality meshes of even the most complex geometry. Fast and flexible, Harpoon's powerful geometry and mesh controls are driven through a simple and logical graphical user interface (GUI). Crucially, Sharc's experience in the mathematics of meshes ensure that the elements created will meet the needs of even the most demanding solvers.

Quality

Harpoon is a fully automatic body-fitted hex-dominant mesher. The automatic generation of volume meshes and/or surface meshes removes the need for time-consuming surface mesh generation and grid density specification.

Unlike other meshers, Harpoon does not rely on non-standard, 'nasty' cut cells, but moves nodes of hexas (hexahedral elements) to maintain the grid's hex-dominant structure and high quality cells. This results in meshes with improved solution convergence.

Speed

Using state-of-the-art spatial algorithms and pseudo-integer calculations, Harpoon delivers high quality meshes at unrivalled speeds.

Turn-around times from CAD to CFD solutions can now be reduced by orders of magnitude for large complex geometry compared with other meshing tools and methods.

Simplicity

Harpoon does not require any mesh density specification to be provided. Instead, Harpoon automatically calculates the mesh density required to capture all geometric details larger than a given tolerance.
