Quadrilateral Mesh Smoothing Using a Steady State Genetic Algorithm
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper investigates the use of a steady state genetic algorithm (GA) to perform quadrilateral finite element mesh smoothing. GAS short for genetic algorithm smoother moves one to 64 nodes at the same time. GAs smooth as well as untangle (removing twisted and inverted elements), which has been a separate operation in the past.

Genetic Algorithms, Another Tool for Quad Mesh Optimization?
The purpose of this paper is to investigate the use of a genetic algorithm (GA) to perform the finite element analysis mesh smoothing process. It is the goal of this paper to take a simple quadrilateral mesh and smooth it using a GA into a useful model that will provide a correct solution. The GA smoothing technique is demonstrated on two simple quadrilateral mesh examples. Only one node is mov...
متن کاملMultigrid Solution of the Navier-Stokes Equations on Triangular Meshes
A new Navier-Stokes algorithm for use on unstructured triangular meshes is presented. Spatial discretization of the governing equations is achieved using a finite-element Galerkin approximation, which can be shown to be equivalent to a finite-volume approximation for regular equilateral triangular meshes. Integration to steady state is performed using a multistage time-stepping scheme, and conv...
متن کاملOptimal Pareto Parametric Analysis of Two Dimensional Steady-State Heat Conduction Problems by MLPG Method
Numerical solutions obtained by the Meshless Local Petrov-Galerkin (MLPG) method are presented for two dimensional steady-state heat conduction problems. The MLPG method is a truly meshless approach, and neither the nodal connectivity nor the background mesh is required for solving the initial-boundary-value problem. The penalty method is adopted to efficiently enforce the essential boundary co...
متن کاملAn Angle-Based Approach to Two-Dimensional Mesh Smoothing
We present an effective and easy-to-implement angle-based smoothing scheme for triangular, quadrilateral and tri-quad mixed meshes. For each mesh node our algorithm compares all the pairs of adjacent angles incident to the node and adjusts these angles so that they become equal in the case of a triangular mesh and a quadrilateral mesh, or they form the ideal ratio in the case of a tri-quad mixe...
متن کاملAn unstructured quadrilateral mesh generation algorithm for aircraft structures
Because commercial aircraft are built with thin-walled structures, their structural performance is well-modeled using shell-element meshes. However, creating these meshes for the full aircraft configuration can be challenging and presents a bottleneck in the design process, especially in a configuration-level design space. This paper presents an algorithm that automatically creates unstructured...
