 Harpoon is the ideal tool for delivering high quality           
   meshes of even the most complex geometry. Fast and              
   flexible, Harpoon?s powerful geometry and mesh controls are     
   driven through a simple and logical graphical user              
   interface (GUI). Crucially, Sharc?s experience in the           
   mathematics of meshes ensure that the elements created will     
   meet the needs of even the most demanding solvers.              
                                                                   
   Quality                                                         
                                                                   
   Harpoon is a fully automatic body-fitted hex-dominant           
   mesher. The automatic generation of volume meshes and/or        
   surface meshes removes the need for time-consuming surface      
   mesh generation and grid density specification.                 
                                                                   
   Unlike other meshers, Harpoon does not rely on                  
   non-standard, nasty cut cells, but moves nodes of hexas         
   (hexahedral elements) to maintain the grid's hex-dominant       
   structure and high quality cells. This results in meshes        
   with improved solution convergence.                             
                                                                   
   Flexibility                                                     
                                                                   
   Harpoon has direct interfaces for geometry exported from        
   CATIA, Pro/E, IDEAS and many other commercial CAD packages.     
                                                                   
   Harpoon provides export facilities for meshes for most          
   major CFD/FEA codes such as Fluent, Star-CD, CFX5, Nastran      
   and LS-Dyna. Click here for full list of supported import       
   and export formats.                                             
                                                                   
   Mesh refinement for specific grid regions e.g. wakes, is        
   easily specified in the GUI should the user require more        
   control over the mesh density.                                  
                                                                   
                                                                   
   Speed                                                           
                                                                   
   Using state-of-the-art spatial algorithms and                   
   pseudo-integer calculations, Harpoon delivers high quality      
   meshes at unrivalled speeds.                                    
                                                                   
   Turn-around times from CAD to CFD solutions can now be          
   reduced by orders of magnitude for large complex geometry       
   compared with other meshing tools and methods.                  
                                                                   
   Simplicity                                                      
                                                                   
   Harpoon does not require any mesh density specification to      
   be provided. Instead, Harpoon automatically calculates the      
   mesh density required to capture all geometric details          
   larger than a given tolerance.                                  
                                                                   
   With a combination of the automatic feature extraction and      
   an intuitive GUI, the user can generate volume and/or           
   surface meshes in just three mouse clicks.                      
                                                                   
   Robustness                                                      
                                                                   
   Harpoon automatically checks the generated mesh for             
   inconsistencies and proceeds to repair any cells of             
   undesirable quality. This routine requires no input from        
   the user and is integral to the whole meshing process.
