Abstract: With the rapid development of high performance computing, scientific engineering computing plays an increasingly 
important role in engineering design fields such as aerospace, ships and bridges. As the pre-input of scientific engineering simulation, the generation of computing grids is an important factor that affects the simulation cycle and results. Therefore, the development of general mesh generation software is of great practical value for promoting scientific engineering computing. Firstly, the development and current situation of mesh generation software at domestic and abroad are introduced. Secon- dly, in view of the situation that the domestic market relies heavily on foreign commercial software, the technical solutions and several key technologies that need to be broken through to self-develop the mesh generation software YHGRID are analyzed and summarized. Finally, based on the domestic high performance computing platform, the challenges and future development directions for self-controllable mesh generation software are discussed.

Key words: mesh generation software, scientific engineering computing, high performance computing, self-controllable
