So called triangle-merge techniques are then used to recombine the triangles of the initial mesh into quadrilaterals. This way, high-quality full-quad meshes suitable for finite element calculations can be generated for arbitrary two-dimensional geometries.

Generation of Quad and Hex Dominant Semistructured Meshes Using an Advancing Layer Scheme
A novel algorithm to generate quadand hex-dominant, semistructured meshes is presented. The algorithm utilizes a three-step, advancing layer scheme to generate the mesh in structured layers starting from an initial data surface. First, a locally orthogonal reference mesh is algebraically generated. The reference mesh is then smoothed using a Poisson-type mesh generation equation. Finally, a lin...
متن کاملHex-Dominant Mesh Generation with Directionality Control via Packing Rectangular Solid Cells
A new computational method that creates a hex-dominant mesh of an arbitrary 3D geometric domain is presented. The proposed method generates a high-quality hexdominant mesh by: (1) controlling the directionality of the output hex-dominant mesh; and (2) avoiding ill-shaped elements induced by nodes located too closely to each other. The proposed method takes a 3D geometric domain as input and cre...
متن کاملTensor-Guided Hex-Dominant Mesh Generation with Targeted All-Hex Regions
In this paper, we present a method for generating hex-dominant meshes with targeted all-hex regions over closed volumes. The method begins by generating a piecewise-continuous metric tensor field over the volume. This field specifies desired anisotropy and directionality during the subsequent meshing stages. Meshing begins with field-guided tiling of individual structured hexahedral fronts wher...
متن کاملPolyhedral Mesh Generation
A new methodology to generate a hex-dominant mesh is presented. From a closed surface and an initial all-hex mesh that contains the closed surface, the proposed algorithm generates, by intersection, a new mostly-hex mesh that includes polyhedra located at the boundary of the geometrical domain. The polyhedra may be used as cells if the field simulation solver supports them or be decomposed into...
متن کاملConstrained Triangulation: Application to Hex-Dominant Mesh Generation
Boundary-constrained triangulation has long been the domain of Delaunay mesh generation. Another application for constrained triangulation is introduced in this work. A new technique for hexahedral-dominant mesh generation is developed. With this method, known as Hex-Morphing (H-Morph), an initial tetrahedral mesh is provided. The quadrilateral faces of the hexahedra are treated as internal sur...
