Example of mesh generated for a computational fluid dynamics analysis in a rigid-boundary IA model. The size of the meshing elements, arrangement and topology condition the precision of the solution and the convergence and speed of the solving algorithm. Here we use tetrahedrons at the center of the lumen and smaller hexahedrons at the periphery to account for smaller variations near the fluid boundary layer.
