# 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)
