HyperMesh Alternatives

HyperMesh is described as 'Market-leading, multi-disciplinary finite element pre-processor which manages the generation of the largest, most complex models, starting with the import of a CAD geometry to exporting ready-to-run solver file' and is an app. There are nine alternatives to HyperMesh for Windows, Linux and Mac. The best HyperMesh alternative is Gmsh, which is both free and Open Source. Other great apps like HyperMesh are SimFlow, TetGen, NETGEN and ANSA.
