This section explains the swept meshing technique and describes the types of regions to which this meshing technique can be applied. The following topics are covered:

• “What is swept meshing?,” Section 17.9.1

• “Swept meshing of surfaces,” Section 17.9.2

• “Swept meshing of three-dimensional solids,” Section 17.9.3

• “Swept meshing of cylindrical solids,” Section 17.9.4

• “Characteristics of the geometry can prevent a part from being swept meshable,” Section 17.9.5
