چکیده
This work presents an algorithm for coarsening all-hexahedral meshes while maintaining all-hexahedral connectivity. The dual of a mesh is described and the constraints on hexahedral mesh modi cation are explained. This paper then describes how mesh coarsening can be performed by using the information contained in the dual.

Mesh Matching - Creating Conforming Interfaces between Hexahedral Meshes
This paper presents a new method for handling nonconforming hexahedral-to-hexahedral interfaces. One or both of the adjacent hexahedral meshes are locally modified to create a one-to-one mapping between between the mesh nodes and quadrilaterals at the interface allowing a conforming mesh to be created. In the finite element method, nonconforming interfaces are currently handled using constraint...
متن کاملMethods and Applications of Generalized Sheet Insertion for Hexahedral Meshing
This paper presents methods and applications of sheet insertion in a hexahedral mesh. A hexahedral sheet is dual to a layer of hexahedra in a hexahedral mesh. Because of symmetries within a hexahedral element, every hexahedral mesh can be viewed as a collection of these sheets. It is possible to insert new sheets into an existing mesh, and these new sheets can be used to define new mesh boundar...
متن کاملAutomatic decomposition of complex thin walled CAD models for hexahedral dominant meshing
This paper describes an automatic method for identifying thin-sheet regions (regions with large lateral dimensions relative to the thickness) for complex thin walled components, with a view to using this information to guide the hex meshing process. This fully automated method has been implemented in a commercial CAD system (Siemens NX) and is based on the interrogation and manipulation of face...
متن کاملSheet-Based Hexahedral Mesh Generation
Historically, hexahedral finite element mesh generation has required significant geometric decomposition with the resulting consequence that generating hexahedral meshes can be extremely difficult to perform and automate and the process often takes several orders of magnitude longer in time to complete than current methods for generating tetrahedral meshes. In this work, we present methods for ...
متن کاملUsing Edge Valence Prediction to Drive Localized All-Hex Coarsening
In this work, we propose using edge valence as a quality predictor when used as a driver for adapting all hexahedral meshes. Edge valence, for hexahedra, is defined as the number of faces attached to an edge. It has shown to be a more reliable quality predictor than node valence for hexahedral meshes. This work presents a general algorithm for predicting edge valence when used with column colla...
