Lattice Cleaving: Conforming Tetrahedral Meshes of Multimaterial Domains with Bounded Quality
نویسندگان
چکیده
We introduce a new algorithm for generating tetrahedral meshes that conform to physical boundaries in volumetric domains consisting of multiple materials. The proposed method allows for an arbitrary number of materials, produces high-quality tetrahedral meshes with upper and lower bounds on dihedral angles, and guarantees geometric fidelity. Moreover, the method is combinatoric so its implementation enables rapid mesh construction. These meshes are structured in a way that also allows grading, in order to reduce element counts in regions of homogeneity.

Adaptive and Unstructured Mesh Cleaving
We propose a new strategy for boundary conforming meshing that decouples the problem of building tetrahedra of proper size and shape from the problem of conforming to complex, non-manifold boundaries. This approach is motivated by the observation that while several methods exist for adaptive tetrahedral meshing, they typically have difficulty at geometric boundaries. The proposed strategy avoid...
متن کاملTowards tetrahedral meshing with decoupled element and boundary constraints
In tetrahedral mesh generation, the constraints imposed by adaptive element size, good tetrahedral quality (shape measured by some local metric), and material boundaries are often in conflict. Attempts to satisfy these conditions simultaneously frustrate many conventional approaches. We propose a new strategy for boundary conforming meshing that decouples the problem of building tetrahedra of p...

متن کاملOn Conforming Nonobtuse Tetrahedralizations of Some Cylindrical-type Domains
We present an algorithm for constructing families of conforming (i.e. face-to-face) nonobtuse tetrahedral finite element meshes for convex 3D cylindrical-type domains. In fact, the algorithm produces only path-tetrahedra.
