Next Generation Models
What sort of models do we need to be able to mesh in the future? What are they like? Where do they come from? What workflows that generate the models do we need to understand and support? In what ways do we need to specialize our meshes for how the model is going to be used? The panel will feature experts on shape creation for design, simulation and construction; and generating models and meshes from image scans.
Each panelist will give a 5-minute overview of their current and future workflow, the challenges they have already encountered and how they have adapted to address them. Following that, the SIAM IMR participants will have half an hour for questions-and-answers with the panelists.

Secrets Skills for Meshing
Senior meshing people will describe what rare critical skills and knowledge, technical or otherwise, they think have helped make them successful. For example, they may advise, “what one technical thing should practitioners go out an learn”, or “what one class should aspiring students take that they wouldn’t normally consider.”
