Advances in Octree-Based All-Hexahedral Mesh Generation: Handling Sharp Features
نویسنده
چکیده
Even though many methods have been suggested to meet the challenge of all-hexahedral meshing, octree-based methods remain the most efficient from an engineering point of view. As of today, its robustness, speed and robustness are still unmatched. This paper presents advances made in the Hexotic project, especially in terms of sharp angles meshing, non-manifold geometries and adaptation.

Sharp Feature Preservation in Octree-Based Hexahedral Mesh Generation for CAD Assembly Models
This paper describes an automatic and robust approach to convert 3D CAD assembly models into unstructured hexahedral meshes that are conformal to the given B-Reps (boundary-representations) with sharp feature preservation. In previous works, we developed an octree-based isocontouring method to construct unstructured hexahedral meshes for manifold and non-manifold domains. However, sharp feature...
متن کاملA Robust 2-Refinement Algorithm in Octree and Rhombic Dodecahedral Tree Based All-Hexahedral Mesh Generation
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 کاملOctree-based reasonable-quality hexahedral mesh generation using a new set of refinement templates
An octree-based mesh generation method is proposed to create reasonable-quality, geometry-adapted unstructured hexahedral meshes automatically from triangulated surface models without any sharp geometrical features. A new, easy-to-implement, easy-to-understand set of refinement templates is developed to perform local mesh refinement efficiently even for concave refinement domains without creati...
متن کاملOctree-based Hexahedral Mesh Generation for Viscous Flow Simulations
The present paper describes an unstructured hexahedral mesh generator for viscous flow simulations around complex 3D configurations. The first step of this method is the geometric adaptation of an initial non-body-fitted mesh by grid embedding. The resulting octree mesh is then fitted to the actual boundaries of the domain and its main features, such as sharp edges and corners, are captured. De...
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...
