Mesh Generation on High-curvature Surfaces
This paper extends a previously proposed algorithm for generating unstructured meshes in three-dimensional and in twodimensional domains to generate surface meshes. A surface mesh is generated in parametric space and mapped to Cartesian space. Finite elements may be stretched on parametric space, but they present a good-quality shape on the 3D surface. The algorithm uses a metric map defined by...
متن کاملMesh Generation on Piecewise Riemannian Surfaces
We shall describe a mesh generation technique on a composite trimmed Riemannian surface. The edge size function is a fundamental entity in order to be able to apply the process of generalized Delaunay triangulation with respect to a Riemannian metric. Unfortunately, the edge size function is not known a-priori in general. We describe an approach which invokes the Laplace-Beltrami operator to de...
متن کاملFacet-Based Surfaces for 3D Mesh Generation
A synthesis of various algorithms and techniques used for modeling and evaluating facet-based surfaces for 3D surface mesh generation algorithms is presented, including implementation details of how these techniques are used within an existing mesh generation toolkit. An object oriented data representation for facet-based surfaces is described. Numerical techniques for describing G continuous c...
متن کاملMatching free-form surfaces
In this work, the matching problem between two free-form parametric surfaces, S 0 (u, v) and S 1 (u, v), has been considered in the context of a "rst stage of the metamorphosis process, which is de"ned as gradual and continuous transformation of one key shape into another. A method is presented to approximate the two reparametrization functions, r(u, v) and t(u, v), via a discrete sampled set o...
متن کاملMachining Free-Form Surfaces
This paper presents an analytical method for planning an efficient tool-path in machining free-form surfaces on 3-axis milling machines. This new approach uses a nonconstant offset of the previous tool-path, which guarantees the cutter moving in an unmachined area of the part surface and without redundant machining. The method comprises three steps: (1) the calculation of the tool-path interval...
