A Density Control Based Adaptive Hexahedral Mesh Generation Algorithm
نویسندگان
چکیده
A density control based adaptive hexahedral mesh generation algorithm for three dimensional models is presented in this paper. The first step of this algorithm is to identify the characteristic boundary of the solid model which needs to be meshed. Secondly, the refinement fields are constructed and modified according to the conformal refinement templates, and used as a metric to generate an initial grid structure. Thirdly, a jagged core mesh is generated by removing all the elements in the exterior of the solid model. Fourthly, all of the surface nodes of the jagged core mesh are matching to the surfaces of the model through a node projection process. Finally, the mesh quality such as topology and shape is improved by using corresponding optimization techniques.

A mesh generation procedure to simulate bimaterials
It is difficult to develop an algorithm which is able to generate the appropriate mesh around the interfaces in bimaterials. In this study, a corresponding algorithm is proposed for this class of unified structures made from different materials with arbitrary shapes. The non-uniform mesh is generated adaptively based on advancing front technique available in Abaqus software. Implementing severa...
متن کاملAdaptive All-Hexahedral Mesh Generation Based on A Hybrid Octree and Bubble Packing
In this paper, a novel adaptive all-hexahedral (all-hex) mesh generation algorithm is proposed based on a hybrid octree. This hybrid octree consists of polyhedral cells and each grid point is always shared by eight cells by using a cutting procedure. A dual mesh with all-hex elements is then extracted by analyzing each grid point. Next, sphere or ellipsoid bubble packing is applied to improve t...
متن کاملAdaptive refinement of all-hexahedral elements for three-dimensional metal forming analysis
In many 3-D forging simulations, the master-grid method or uniform-grid method is adopted as an effect tool for hexahedral element mesh generation, because the method is robust and reliable to construct the intermediate mesh during forging simulation. However, almost equalsized element mesh is employed regardless of the local characteristics of the deforming region. In order to overcome this dr...

In this paper, we present a novel 2-refinement algorithm for adaptive all-hexahedral mesh generation based on two tree structures: octree and rhombic dodecahedral tree. Given a smooth boundary surface, we first use a pre-defined error function to detect the main surface features, and build a strongly-balanced octree. Then a novel 2-refinement algorithm is developed to eliminate all hanging node...
متن کاملVisualizing Mesh Adaptation Metric Tensors
Riemannian metric tensors are used to control the adaptation of meshes for finite element and finite volume computations. To study the numerous metric construction and manipulation techniques, a new method has been developed to visualize two-dimensional metrics without interference from any adaptation algorithm. This method traces a network of orthogonal tensor lines to form a pseudo-mesh visua...
