#### Description

This training explores surface meshing in nTop. The objectives of these techniques are to successfully surface mesh for virtually any downstream operations while:

* preserving geometric fidelity of our geometry
* minimizing mesh element count and resulting file size
* reducing overall solve time of meshing operations

To dive deeper into the inputs and techniques shown in this guide, see [Surface Meshing Techniques](https://learn.ntop.com/courses/surface-meshing-techniques/).

**Prerequisites:** [101: nTop Essentials](/courses/101-ntop-essentials/), [102: Guide to Meshing](/courses/102-guide-to-meshing/)

**What is covered:**

* How to mesh for simulation or manufacturing
* **Mesh from Implicit Body**block and varying levels of sharpening
* **Simplify Mesh by Threshold**block
* **Remesh Surface** block
* Meshing block order and its effect on solve time
