Hellow, guys! Please tell, can I download a file with mesh created for a model, but before the simulation starts? How to do that?
Hey @555grand ,
That’s a great question. It is not possible to download the mesh after it is generated but before the simulation run has started.
However, a common workaround is to start the simulation and let it run for just one time step, or a few seconds, and then cancel the job. Once the run is canceled, you can download the results, which will include the mesh file that you can then inspect locally.
Also, depending on what you are trying to check, you may not need to download the mesh at all. SimScale has a built-in Mesh Quality feature that allows you to inspect the mesh directly in the workbench. This can be very useful for checking parameters like aspect ratio, non-orthogonality, and cell volumes without leaving the platform.
Hope this helps!
Best,
Satvik
