KUBRIX® is a unique automatic grid generator ( hexahedral, tetrahedral, octree and hybrid models) built for the demanding geometrical requirements of petroleum and mining geomechanics (non-manifold surfaces, hundreds of materials, hundreds of intersecting intermittent faults).
KUBRIX®, in conjunction with Rhino3D®, is the preferred solid modeling & grid generation package for Itasca's FLAC3D, 3DEC and PFC3D software products, and works with nearly every engineering analysis package.
KUBRIX® is used by design engineers and researchers in the mining, petroleum, civil, automotive, aerospace, manufacturing, biomedical, and electronics industries.

Hex, Tet and Octree Meshing
Using fuzzy logic, KUBRIX automatically subdivides a closed non-manifold polysurface into a small number of blocks, and builds an all-hex mesh by subdividing each block.
KUBRIX features the state of the art in surface smoothing and remeshing, and automatic tetrahedral mesh generation.
KUBRIX can create octree meshes from low-quality CAD surface data and produce meshes and blocks for Itasca’s FLAC3D and 3DEC software products.
Integration With Most CAD Packages
With the provided scripts, KUBRIX can be launched from and used with most popular Computer-Aided Design (CAD) packages, including Robert McNeel and Associates’ Rhinoceros.
Multi-Material Meshes containing hundreds of intermittent intersecting faults
KUBRIX can mesh objects composed of several materials and represented by closed non-manifold polysurfaces and containing intersecting intermittent faults. The resulting mesh features coinciding nodes at material boundaries and all internal walls. Fault information is transmitted as interface, joint and contact surfaces to the anlysis package.
Choice of Mesh Structure
KUBRIX produces block-structured, fully unstructured, fully-structured and octree all-hex meshes, all-tetrahedral meshes, convex block decompositions and hybrid meshes that can be joined within the analysis package.
Input and Output Format
The following triangulated surface mesh file formats are supported as input: STL, NASTRAN, PATRAB, I-DEAS, ANSYS (PREP7), ANSYSCDWRITE (CDWRITE Command), ANSYSHMTEMPLATE, ABAQUS, GRIDPRO, VRML (2.0) and ZMAP.
The following output mesh file formats are supported: NASTRAN, PATRAN, I-DEAS, ANSYS (PREP7), VRML, MARC, ABAQUS, FLAC3D and 3DEC POLY.

Works Well With Other CAE Tools
In addition to use with a Graphical User Interface (GUI), KUBRIX can be run as a simple command-line and can easily be integrated, launched from and used with most popular CAD/CAE packages, including Robert McNeel and Associates’ Rhinoceros 4.0. KUBRIX reads input surface meshes from a wide range of CAD/CAE packages and creates mesh files in the most common commercial structural and CFD software packages. Low-Quality CAD to Octree Mesh
With its octree meshing option, KUBRIX can handle non-closed or multiply-defined surface patches resulting from scanning and surveying operations, and produce quality meshes readily usable with Itasca’s FLAC3D and 3DEC software products for petroleum and mining applications. Fast
KUBRIX is fast. Most "bread and butter" objects can be meshed in under a minute.
