A convenient scheme for coupling a finite element curvilinear mesh to a finite element voxel mesh: application to the heart
BACKGROUND In some cases, it may be necessary to combine distinct finite element meshes into a single system. The present work describes a scheme for coupling a finite element mesh, which may have curvilinear elements, to a voxel based finite element mesh. METHODS The method is described with reference to a sample problem that involves combining a heart, which is defined by a curvilinear mesh...
متن کاملFast Finite Element Method Using Multi-Step Mesh Process
This paper introduces a new method for accelerating current sluggish FEM and improving memory demand in FEM problems with high node resolution or bulky structures. Like most of the numerical methods, FEM results to a matrix equation which normally has huge dimension. Breaking the main matrix equation into several smaller size matrices, the solving procedure can be accelerated. For implementing ...
متن کاملMoving Particles Through a Finite Element Mesh
We present a new numerical technique for modeling the flow around multiple objects moving in a fluid. The method tracks the dynamic interaction between each particle and the fluid. The movements of the fluid and the object are directly coupled. A background mesh is designed to fit the geometry of the overall domain. The mesh is designed independently of the presence of the particles except in t...
متن کاملSimple Mesh Examples to Illustrate Specific Finite Element Mesh Requirements
Three simple mesh examples are presented to show that neither Delaunay nor strictly non-obtuse mesh elements are required for a finite element computation. Mesh requirements based on a recent condition given in literature are investigated to guarantee certain properties of the resulting stiffness matrix. The experiments are conducted using a general finite element and finite volume solver.
متن کاملMesh-Based Geometry: A Systematic Approach To Constructing Geometry From A Finite Element Mesh
A new system for defining geometry based on feature s of a finite element mesh is described. A systemat ic approach to building a complete geometric and topologic representation of a model given only the finite element description i s proposed. Geometry and topology entities including volumes, surfaces, curv es and vertices, can be implied based on user defin ed boundary conditions or surface f...
