Advancing Front Surface Mesh Generation in Parametric Space Using a Riemannian Surface Definition
نویسندگان
چکیده
A method is presented for meshing 3D CAD surfaces in parametric space using an advancing front approach and a metric map to govern the size and shape of the triangles in the parametric space. The creation of the metric map will be discussed. The advancing front mesher generates triangles based on the metric map, stretching them in order to capture the change in parameterization of the surface. The benefits of this algorithm include better quality elements without having to do costly real space calculations.

Mesh Generation on High-Curvature Surfaces Based on a Background Quadtree Structure
This paper extends a previously proposed algorithm for generating unstructured meshes in three-dimensional and in twodimensional domains to generate surface meshes.

متن کاملHigh Quality Geometric Meshing of CAD Surfaces
A wide range of surfaces can be defined by means of composite parametric surfaces as is the case for most CAD modelers. There are, essentially, two approaches to meshing parametric surfaces: direct and indirect. Popular direct methods include the octree-based method, the advancing-front-based method and the paving-based method working directly in the tridimensional space. The indirect approach ...
متن کاملEQSM: An efficient high quality surface grid generation method based on remeshing
The EQSM method for the generation of unstructured triangular surface grids is presented. The method is based on remeshing techniques and avoids the need for traditional mesh triangulation approaches, such as the advancing front and the Delaunay methods. Normalized edge lengths, based on a metric derived from curvature or from a user-specified spacing, are employed as the remeshing criterion. I...

A method of unstructured tetrahedral-mesh generation for general three-dimensional domains is presented. A conventional boundary representation is adopted as the basis for the description of solids with evolving geometry and topology. The geometry of surfaces is represented either analytically of by piecewise polynomial interpolation. A preliminary surface mesh is generated by an advancing fron...
