Automatic Hexahedral Mesh Generation with Feature Line Extraction
نویسندگان
چکیده
Abstarct. An improved method using feature line extraction is described for automatically generating hexahedral meshes for complex geometric models that automate the normally interactive operations (such as model editing). Testing showed that the time taken for these interactive operations was significantly reduced, making it possible to quickly generate hexahedral meshes with sufficient quality for complex models. Application of this method to mechanical part models showed that it shortened the time to generate a mesh in about 10% the time required with the previous method.

Volume Decomposition and Feature Recognition for Hexahedral Mesh Generation
Considerable progress has been made on automatic hexahedral mesh generation in recent years. Several automatic meshing algorithms have proven to be very reliable on certain classes of geometry. While it is always worth pursuing general algorithms viable on more general geometry, a combination of the well-established algorithms is ready to take on classes of complicated geometry. By partitioning...
متن کاملSharp Feature Preservation in Octree-Based Hexahedral Mesh Generation for CAD Assembly Models
This paper describes an automatic and robust approach to convert 3D CAD assembly models into unstructured hexahedral meshes that are conformal to the given B-Reps (boundary-representations) with sharp feature preservation. In previous works, we developed an octree-based isocontouring method to construct unstructured hexahedral meshes for manifold and non-manifold domains. However, sharp feature...

متن کاملAutomatic Hexahedral Mesh Generation by Recursive Convex and Swept Volume Decomposition
In this paper we present a recursive volume decomposition method for automatically decomposing complex shaped objects with both protrusions and depressions into simpler sub-objects for automatic hexahedral mesh generation. The sub-volumes after decomposition are classified into either convex or swept volumes. For a convex volume, it is mapped to a collection of hexahedral objects. On the other ...
متن کاملAn Automatic Hexahedral Mesh Generation System Based on the Shape-Recognition and Boundary-Fit Methods
A general-purpose automatic hexahedral mesh generation system for FEA (Finite Element Analysis) was developed based on a shape recognition technique and the boundary-fit method. In this system, a solid model is analyzed and decomposed into single-connected sub-models. Then, other sub-models topologically identical to the original ones are constructed using only orthogonal angles. Cubes are used...
