<p>HI:</p>

<p>So Scan and Solve is a cutting edge technology for generating a </p>

<p>Bob, Scan&Solve does not generate mesh of the MODEL, but it does discretize the model on a MESH OF SPACE. Think of the mesh as a 3D graph paper, each 3D cell serves an "finite element" -- in quotes because there are no "nodes" really, only basis functions associated with each cell. These cells are adapted to the native geometry and boundary conditions at run time during the integration process, which indeed generates the stiffness matrix and a linear system of…</p>
