mesh-utilities
Quick mesh inspection, conversion, quality checks, and coarsening for hydrodynamic solvers
Best use case
mesh-utilities is best used when you need a repeatable AI agent workflow instead of a one-off prompt.
Quick mesh inspection, conversion, quality checks, and coarsening for hydrodynamic solvers
Teams using mesh-utilities should expect a more consistent output, faster repeated execution, less prompt rewriting.
When to use this skill
- You want a reusable workflow that can be run more than once with consistent structure.
When not to use this skill
- You only need a quick one-off answer and do not need a reusable workflow.
- You cannot install or maintain the underlying files, dependencies, or repository context.

# Mesh Utilities ## When to Use This Skill Use mesh utilities when you need to: - **Quick inspect** - View mesh statistics (panels, vertices, bounding box) before running solvers - **Format conversion** - Convert between GDF (OrcaWave/WAMIT), DAT (AQWA/NEMOH), and STL - **Quality validation** - Check watertightness, normals, aspect ratios, panel counts - **Mesh coarsening** - Reduce panel count for faster preliminary runs - **Pre-solver checks** - Validate mesh suitability for specific solvers (AQWA, OrcaWave, BEMRosetta) ## Related Skills - **hydrodynamic-analysis** - BEM theory, RAOs, added mass/damping - **orcaflex/specialist** - OrcaFlex integration - **gmsh-meshing** - Advanced mesh generation --- **Use this skill for quick mesh checks before running expensive solver analyses!** ## Sub-Skills - [Troubleshooting](troubleshooting/SKILL.md) ## Sub-Skills - [Quick Reference](quick-reference/SKILL.md) ## Sub-Skills - [1.
