Mesh Generation
Goal
Provide a consistent workflow for selecting mesh resolution and checking mesh quality for PDE simulations.
Requirements
- Python 3.8+
- No external dependencies (uses stdlib)
Inputs to Gather
| Input | Description | Example |
|-------|-------------|---------|
| Domain size | Physical dimensions | 1.0 × 1.0 m |
| Feature size | Smallest feature to resolve | 0.01 m |
| Points per feature | Resolution requirement | 10 points |
| Aspect ratio limit | Maximum dx/dy ratio | 5:1 |
| Quality threshold | Skewness limit | < 0.8 |
Decision Guidance
Resolution Selection
What is the smallest feature size?
├── Interface width → dx ≤ width / 5
├── Boundary layer → dx ≤ layer_thickness / 10
├── Wave length → dx ≤ lambda / 20
└── Diffusion length → dx ≤ sqrt(D × dt) / 2
Mesh Type Selection
| Problem | Recommended Mesh | |---------|------------------| | Simple geometry, uniform | Structured Cartesian | | Complex geometry | Unstructured triangular/tetrahedral | | Boundary layers | Hybrid (structured near walls) | | Adaptive refinement | Quadtree/Octree or AMR |
Script Outputs (JSON Fields)
| Script | Key Outputs |
|--------|-------------|
| scripts/grid_sizing.py | dx, nx, ny, nz, notes |
| scripts/mesh_quality.py | aspect_ratio, skewness, quality_flags |
Workflow
- Estimate resolution - From physics scales
- Compute grid sizing - Run
scripts/grid_sizing.py - Check quality metrics - Run
scripts/mesh_quality.py - Adjust if needed - Fix aspect ratios, reduce skewness
- Validate - Mesh convergence study
Conversational Workflow Example
User: I need to mesh a 1mm × 1mm domain for a phase-field simulation with interface width of 10 μm.
Agent workflow:
- Compute grid sizing:
python3 scripts/grid_sizing.py --length 0.001 --resolution 200 --json - Verify interface is resolved: dx = 5 μm, interface width = 10 μm → 2 points per interface width.
- Recommend: Increase to 500 points (dx = 2 μm) for 5 points across interface.
Pre-Mesh Checklist
- [ ] Define target resolution per feature/interface
- [ ] Ensure dx meets stability constraints (see numerical-stability)
- [ ] Check aspect ratio < limit (typically 5:1)
- [ ] Check skewness < threshold (typically 0.8)
- [ ] Validate mesh convergence with refinement study
CLI Examples
# Compute grid sizing for 1D domain
python3 scripts/grid_sizing.py --length 1.0 --resolution 200 --json
# Check mesh quality
python3 scripts/mesh_quality.py --dx 1.0 --dy 0.5 --dz 0.5 --json
# High aspect ratio check
python3 scripts/mesh_quality.py --dx 1.0 --dy 0.1 --json
Error Handling
| Error | Cause | Resolution |
|-------|-------|------------|
| length must be positive | Invalid domain size | Use positive value |
| resolution must be > 1 | Insufficient points | Use at least 2 |
| dx, dy must be positive | Invalid spacing | Use positive values |
Interpretation Guidance
Aspect Ratio
| Aspect Ratio | Quality | Impact | |--------------|---------|--------| | 1:1 | Excellent | Optimal accuracy | | 1:1 - 3:1 | Good | Acceptable | | 3:1 - 5:1 | Fair | May affect accuracy | | > 5:1 | Poor | Solver issues likely |
Skewness
| Skewness | Quality | Impact | |----------|---------|--------| | 0 - 0.25 | Excellent | Optimal | | 0.25 - 0.50 | Good | Acceptable | | 0.50 - 0.80 | Fair | May affect accuracy | | > 0.80 | Poor | Likely problems |
Resolution Guidelines
| Application | Points per Feature | |-------------|-------------------| | Phase-field interface | 5-10 | | Boundary layer | 10-20 | | Shock | 3-5 (with capturing) | | Wave propagation | 10-20 per wavelength | | Smooth gradients | 5-10 |
Limitations
- 2D/3D only: No unstructured mesh generation
- Quality metrics: Basic aspect ratio and skewness only
- No mesh generation: Sizing recommendations only

Run structured What-If scenario analysis with multi-branch possibility exploration. Use this skill when the user asks speculative questions like "what if...", "what would happen if...", "what are the possibilities", "explore scenarios", "scenario analysis", "possibility space", "what could go wrong", "best case / worst case", "risk analysis", "contingency planning", "strategic options", or any question about uncertain futures. Also trigger when the user faces a fork-in-the-road decision, wants to stress-test an idea, or needs to think through consequences before committing.
