Surface Mesh Projection for Hexahedral Mesh Generation by Sweeping

Sweep method is one of the most robust techniques to generate hexahedral meshes in extrusion volumes. One of the main issues to be dealt by any sweep algorithm is the projection of a source surface mesh onto the target surface. This paper presents a new algorithm to map a given mesh over the source surface onto the target surface. This projection is carried out by means of a least-squares appro...

Mesh Generation Based On Surface Mosaics

A mesh generation procedure to simulate bimaterials

It is difficult to develop an algorithm which is able to generate the appropriate mesh around the interfaces in bimaterials. In this study, a corresponding algorithm is proposed for this class of unified structures made from different materials with arbitrary shapes. The non-uniform mesh is generated adaptively based on advancing front technique available in Abaqus software. Implementing severa...

Modification of Surface Mesh for the Generation of Knife Element Free Hexahedral Mesh

Hexahedral elements provide greater accuracy and efficiency over tetrahedral elements for finite element analysis of solids and for this reason the all-hexahedral element auto meshing has a growing demand. The whisker-weaving based plastering algorithm developed by the authors can generate hexahedral mesh (HM) automatically. In this method the prerequisite for generating HM is quadrilateral sur...

Probing for Surface Mesh Generation through Delaunay Refinement

Surface mesh generation through Delaunay refinement is considered as a relevant alternative to the common marching cubes algorithm. One distinctive feature lies into the fact that it interleaves shape probing (through intersection with Voronoi edges) with refinement. The current implementations require seeding the refinement procedure for each connected component so as to guarantee that all com...
