Hello,

I was told that CCM+ needs a finer/better mesh than PowerFlow? Is this right? If yes, why?

And: Does this assumption concern only the surface mesh (made for example in ANSA) or also the volume mesh?

Thank you!

Last time i checked PowerFlow worked only with cartesian type meshes and not with general polyhedrals. That means PowerFlow is the one that needs better and fixed type of meshes. Also needs finer mesh due to stability reasons.

You have it upside down.
