Abstract
Systems and methods are provided for generating a mesh assembly. A specification of a system having first and second objects is received. The specification includes, for each of the first and second objects, geometric data for the object and mesh data comprising settings for creating a mesh representation of the object. The first object is associated with a first mesh, and the second object is associated with a second mesh. The associating includes, for each of the first and second objects, determining whether a mesh with geometric data and mesh data corresponding to that of the object has been previously generated. If the mesh has been previously generated, the object is associated with the mesh, and if the mesh has not been previously generated, the object is meshed to generate a new mesh that is associated with the object. A mesh assembly including the first and second meshes is generated.
