چکیده

The process of generating a nite element mesh is accelerated by integrating physical and geometrical constraints into the initial mesh. By beginning with a near-optimal initial mesh, fewer iterations of reenement are needed to obtain mesh convergence. We apply this algorithm to large-scale bioelectric eld problems involving the complex geometries of the human body.

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...

Tetrahedral Mesh Generation for Deformable Bodies

Motivated by the simulation of deformable bodies, we propose a new tetrahedral mesh generation algorithm that produces both high quality elements and a mesh that is well conditioned for subsequent large deformations. We use a signed distance function defined on a grid in order to represent the object geometry. After tiling space with a uniform lattice based on crystallography, we identify a sub...
