Automatic Curvilinear Quality Mesh Generation with Smooth Mesh Boundaries of Medical Images

چکیده
The development of robust high-order finite element methods requires the curvilinear discretization for complex geometries without user intervention. In this work we present a new technique that allows for the automatic construction of high-order curvilinear meshes with two main features: first, the boundary of the mesh is globally smooth, i.e., it satisfies either the C 1 or the C 2 smoothness requirement; second, all elements are valid as measured by their Jacobians. Example meshes demonstrate the features of the algorithm.

Curvilinear Triangular Discretization of Biomedical Images
Mesh generation is a useful tool for obtaining discrete descriptors of biological objects represented by images. The generation of meshes with straight sided elements has been fairly well understood. However, in order to match curved shapes that are ubiquitous in nature, meshes with high-order elements are required. Moreover, for the processing of large data sets, automatic meshing procedures a...

متن کاملA 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 کاملThe Generation of Valid Curvilinear Meshes
It is now well-known that a curvilinear discretization of the geometry is most often required to benefit from the computational efficiency of high-order numerical schemes in simulations. In this article, we explain how appropriate curvilinear meshes can be generated. We pay particular attention to the problem of invalid (tangled) mesh parts created by curving the domain boundaries. An efficient...
