HENMESH
HENMESH is Hendoi’s preprocessor for aeronautical and aerospace geometries: Phase 6 specialty workbenches, flight-condition sizing, industrial BL / HexCore / overset prep, Phase 7 HEN-AI assist, and suite export. Geometry from HFOIL; solves in HENFLOW.
Catch bad cells before the solver burns hours. HENMESH keeps mesh prep inside the aeronautical / aerospace domain — with Phase 6 workbenches, HEN-AI overlays, and suite packages CFD desks can trust in review.
Signature capabilities
HENMESH is built only for aeronautical and aerospace geometries: aircraft, UAV/eVTOL, rotorcraft, high-lift, propulsion interactions, and rocket/missile prep. Not automotive, civil, or general industrial mesh software.
Set Mach, alpha, and target y+ so surface sizing, prism layers, and farfield extents match the flight case — not a generic “fine mesh” slider.
Guided pipelines from Airfoil CFD and External Aero through High-Lift, Rotorcraft, eVTOL, Turbo, Rockets, Aeroelasticity, CHT, FSI, Icing, Bird Strike, Store Separation, Wind Tunnel, Acoustics, and Internal Flow — each ending in solver-case export.
Mesh Advisor, Project Review, Error Diagnosis, Solver Advisor, Workflow Assistant, plus geometry prep, aerospace recognition, mesh generation/quality, BC detection, sim prep, aerospace validation, and productivity — applyable JSON overlays; deterministic kernels stay local.
Mesh quality diagnostics, manifold checks, and review-ready mesh reports so bad cells are caught in HENMESH, not halfway through a HENFLOW run.
Export suite.json + bridge + VTK + boundaries for HENFLOW import. Geometry comes from HFOIL (CAD); volume CFD runs in HENFLOW. Also bridges OpenFOAM / SU2 / Fluent / CGNS paths.

Typical workflow
Import cleaned airfoil/wing/aircraft solids — ideally prepared in HFOIL CAD — into the HENMESH case; use HEN-AI recognition when helpful.
Enter Mach, alpha, and reference lengths so sizing and BL thickness target the real flight point.
Run the guided prep for Airfoil CFD, External Aero, High-Lift, Rotorcraft, eVTOL, Rockets, Icing, FSI, or another specialty path.
Build surface mesh, grow prism layers to target y+, fill the volume; optionally ask HEN-AI for mesh-assist advice.
Run diagnostics and auto-repair; fix fail cells before any CFD seat-hour is spent.
Export the suite package (suite.json + bridge + VTK + BCs) and continue aerospace CFD in HENFLOW.
Who it serves
HENMESH is Hendoi’s native desktop simulation preprocessor for aeronautical and aerospace programmes: flight-condition-aware meshing, 16 Phase 6 prep workbenches, Phase 7 HEN-AI assist, quality gates, and suite export to HENFLOW — not general industrial mesh software.

Straight answers about HENMESH preprocessing, quality gates, HFOIL/HENFLOW handoff, and licensing.
HENMESH is Hendoi’s native desktop simulation preprocessor for aeronautical and aerospace geometries only — Phase 5–6 industrial meshing and specialty prep workbenches, Phase 7 HEN-AI assist, quality gates, and suite export to HENFLOW (plus OpenFOAM / SU2 / Fluent / CGNS bridges).
No. It is scoped to aircraft, UAV/eVTOL, rotorcraft, high-lift, propulsion-adjacent, rocket/missile, icing, FSI/CHT, and related aerospace prep. It is not a general mechanical or automotive mesher.
No. HENMESH prepares and qualifies meshes and solver-case packages. Aeronautical / aerospace CFD solves run in HENFLOW. Geometry CAD lives in HFOIL.
HEN-AI advises and configures via the Hendoi OpenAI proxy — geometry prep, aerospace recognition, mesh generation/quality, BC detection, sim readiness, and productivity. Deterministic CAD heal and meshing kernels stay in the desktop app; OpenAI never invents Cl/Cd.
Typical chain: prepare geometry in HFOIL (CAD) → mesh, Phase 6 prep, and quality-gate in HENMESH → import the suite package and solve aerospace CFD in HENFLOW.
Native desktop builds for Windows, Linux, and macOS (C++20 / HendoiUI). Commercial, lab, and academy licensing is available worldwide via Contact.
