Advanced meshing techniques and their application on complex valve geometry components – Case study on Valves Subcomponents

Why meshing of valve subcomponents is more and more critical
Valves are more and more subjected to higher pressure or thermal stresses
Pressure up to 20000 psi – Cryogenic or high temperature – Vacuum
New production technics, like Additive manufacturing, are introducing more critical geometries and surfaces
Finite Element Analysis are used more and more to prevent testing failures
Raw material costs are pushing valve manufacturers to guarantee excellent performances with lither valves meaning thinner subcomponents
