Process Automation

Capture modelling workflows directly through the GUI – no scripting required
Easily create customized user interface panels for automation routines
Drag-and-drop logic linking through visual workflow plumbing
Publish reusable process functions for use across teams and projects

What Does Process Automation Do?

The Process Automation (PA) capability in MeshWorks enables engineers to record, customize, and execute modelling workflows through a fully visual interface. Using the intuitive Record > Create GUI > Plumb > Publish methodology, users can capture CAE tasks and convert them into reusable automation scripts—without writing a single line of code. These automation routines support repeatability, consistency, and reduced modelling time across projects, making PA a powerful tool for standardizing simulation processes across an organization.

Time-Efficient Modelling

MeshWorks PA significantly reduces the time spent on repetitive modelling tasks by automating entire workflows.

Zero Coding Required

Automations are created using a visual interface, removing the need for scripting knowledge or programming skills.

Fast Workflow Setup

Create, link, and deploy automation panels in minutes using a guided, drag-and-drop interface.

Pre-Built Automation Packages

Many specific use cases are addressed through ready-to-use, pre-packaged Process Automators.

MeshWorks Uniqueness

MeshWorks’ Process Automation allows users to rapidly convert engineering workflows into standardized, repeatable automation routines using a four-step framework: Record, GUI Creation, Logic Plumbing, and Publish. These visual, script-free automations streamline CAD/CAE tasks across domains such as meshing, assembly, morphing, and parameterization. Whether customizing panels or deploying organization-wide automators, PA empowers teams to reduce manual effort, eliminate variation, and accelerate simulation cycles with minimal training or coding effort.
