چکیده
A new all-hexahedral meshing algorithm, referred to as “Geode”, is described. This algorithm is the combination of hex/tet plastering, dicing, and a new 26-hex transition element template.The algorithm is described in detail, and examples are given of problems meshed with this algorithm. keywords. Geode; hexahedral mesh generation; transition template.

The "Hex-Tet" Hex-Dominant Meshing Algorithm as Implemented in CUBIT
This is a report of the current status of the Hex-Tet algorithm as implemented in the CUBIT toolset. The Hex-Tet algorithm begins by generating a partial hex mesh using an advancing front “Plastering” algorithm. The boundary of any remaining void is optionally “cleaned-up” to improve its shape and/or other properties. The quad boundary is then converted to a triangular boundary by one of three ...
متن کاملAutomatic All-Hex Mesh Generation of Thin-Walled Solids via a Conformal Pyramid-Less Hex, Prism, and Tet Mixed Mesh
A new computational method for creating all-hex meshes of thin-walled solids is presented. The proposed method creates an all-hex mesh in a three-step process. First, a tet mesh of the target geometric domain is created, and a layer of prism elements is inserted on the boundary of the mesh. Second, a sequence of novel topological transformations and smoothing operations is applied to reduce the...
متن کاملUnconstrained Paving & Plastering: A New Idea for All Hexahedral Mesh Generation
Unconstrained Plastering is a new algorithm with the goal of generating a conformal all-hexahedral mesh on any solid geometry assembly. Paving[1] has proven reliable for quadrilateral meshing on arbitrary surfaces. However, the 3D corollary, Plastering [2][3][4][5], is unable to resolve the unmeshed center voids due to being over-constrained by a pre-existing boundary mesh. Unconstrained Plaste...
متن کاملHex-Layer: Layered All-Hex Mesh Generation on Thin Section Solids via Chordal Surface Transformation
This paper proposes chordal surface transform for representation and discretization of thin section solids, such as automobile bodies, plastic injection mold components and sheet metal parts. A multiple-layered all-hex mesh with a high aspect ratio is a typical requirement for mold flow simulation of thin section objects. The chordal surface transform reduces the problem of 3D hex meshing to 2D...
متن کاملQuality guaranteed all-hex mesh generation by a constrained volume iterative fitting algorithm
The hexahedral mesh (hex mesh) is usually preferred to the tetrahedral mesh (tet mesh) in finite element methods for numerical simulation. In finite element analysis, a valid hex mesh requires that the scaled Jacobian value at each mesh vertex is larger than 0. However, the hex mesh produced by lots of prevailing hex mesh generation methods cannot be guaranteed to be a valid hex mesh. In this p...
