pyHyp

pyHyp uses hyperbolic volume mesh marching schemes to extrude structured surface meshes into volume meshes. pyHyp is used as a preprocessing step in the geometry and mesh-creation process prior to an optimization.

How pyHyp fits within MACH

pyHyp takes structured surface meshes and extrudes them into structured volume meshes. This is done as a pre-processing step. Generally, the surface meshes come from ICEM. The pyHyp-generated volume meshes are then used in ADflow to perform CFD. An example XDSM for an optimization setup that uses pyHyp is shown below.
