GUI
The Coreform Cubit GUI provides easy access to powerful meshing tools.
Journal Files
Journal files contain a list of all executed Coreform Cubit commands. Journal files are very helpful for iterating and scripting workflows, and allow users to write, save, edit, replay and share their work. Most Coreform Cubit users learn how to use Cubit with the GUI, then will modify their models using journal files or Python scripts.
Decomposition Tutorials
Most volumes require some measure of decomposition before they can be meshed with a hexahedral meshing scheme. Learn the most common methods in this tutorial.
