A two-dimensional parallel quadtree finite element mesh generator
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this work we implement a parallel finite element mesh generator for two-dimensional regions, based on recursive spatial division techniques. The main formulation is based on spatial recursive decomposition techniques (RSD) combined with the MPI library. A data structure has been developed aimed at the reduction of inter-processor communication. Results are presented for generation of meshes with a varying number of processors. The extension to the work to 3D regions is also considered.

A two dimensional Simulation of crack propagation using Adaptive Finite Element Analysis
Finite element method (FEM) is one of the most famous methods which has many applications in varies studies such as the study of crack propagation in engineering structures. However, unless extremely fine meshes are employed, problem arises in accurately modelling the singular stress field in the singular element area around the crack tip. In the present study, the crack growth simulation has b...
متن کاملA new conforming mesh generator for three-dimensional discrete fracture networks
Nowadays, numerical modelings play a key role in analyzing hydraulic problems in fractured rock media. The discrete fracture network model is one of the most used numerical models to simulate the geometrical structure of a rock-mass. In such media, discontinuities are considered as discrete paths for fluid flow through the rock-mass while its matrix is assumed impermeable. There are two main pa...
متن کاملFinite element algorithm with adaptive quadtree-octree mesh refinement
Certain difficulties with the use of quadrilateral or hexahedral finite elements are related to mesh refinement and to element compatibility and quality after refinement. In this paper, special refinement elements are presented that make possible connecting two special elements to one edge of an 8-node quadrilateral element (2D). The main idea in refinement elements is to place some midside nod...

متن کاملThree-dimensional Mesh-generator for Finite Element Method Applications
The finite element method (FEM) [1] is one of the most effective numeric methods for solving linear and non-linear multi-dimensional scientific and technical problems. It allows modeling of systems with a complex geometry and an irregular physical structure. One of the most time-consuming steps when solving three-dimensional problems using the FEM method is building adaptive mesh. The mesh shou...
