1 Abstract Standard representations of irregular nite element meshes combine vertex data sample coordinates and node values and connectivity tetrahedron-vertex incidence. Connectivity speciies how the samples should be interpolated. It may beencoded for each tetrahedron as four vertex-references,

Constraint Sets for Topology-changing Finite Element Models
We propose constraint sets as an efficient data structure for topology-changing deformable tetrahedral meshes. Using constraint sets, data structure updates in case of topology changes are simple and efficient. The consistency of the geometric representation is maintained and elasto-mechanical properties of the object are preserved. In combination with a Finite Element model for elasto-plastic ...
متن کاملTetrahedral Mesh Compression
In the last years, substantial progress has been achieved in the area of volume visualization on irregular grids, which is mainly based on tetrahedral meshes. No attempts have been made so far to compress tetrahedral meshes losslessly, although this is especially important for scientific applications since even moderately fine meshes consume several mega-bytes of storage. In this paper we close...

متن کاملGrow & fold: compressing the connectivity of tetrahedral meshes
Standard representations of irregular nite element meshes combine vertex data (sample coordinates and node values) and connectivity (tetrahedron-vertex incidence). Connectivity speciies how the samples should be interpolated. It may be encoded as four vertex-references for each tetrahedron, which requires 128m bits where m is the number of tetrahedra in the mesh. Our`Grow&Fold' format reduces t...
متن کاملLossless Geometry Compression for Steady-State and Time-Varying Tetrahedral Meshes
In recent years, new challenges for scientific visualization have emerged as the size of data generated from simulations has grown exponentially. The emerging demand for efficiently storing, transmitting, and visualizing such data in networked environments has motivated research in graphics compression for 3D polygonal models and volumetric datasets. The most general class of volumetric data is...
