GridPro Xpress Fuel Rod

Automatically generate meshes for different nuclear fuel rod bundles with wrapped wires.

Why GridPro Xpress Fuel Rods?

GridPro's automation script delivers top-quality meshes with minimal user input. The Xpress Fuel Rods solution stands out for being Automatic, Flexible, Scalable, User-Controllable, and Versatile. It enables rapid mesh generation—comparable in speed to an unstructured mesher—while maintaining the advantages of a structured mesh, including high quality, Multi-Grid Scalability, and user control over mesh size and refinement. For self-replicable configurations, such as nuclear fuel rod assemblies, Xpress Fuel Rods can nearly achieve these optimal standards.
