Automatic generation of hexahedral finite element meshes
نویسندگان
چکیده
An algorithm for the generation of hexahedral element meshes is demonstrated. The algorithm starts by creating a structured grid in the interior of an object. Then the boundary region is meshed by means of an isomorphism technique that uses basically 2D-operations. Examples are given that demonstrate the quality of the algorithm.

An Automatic Hexahedral Mesh Generation System Based on the Shape-Recognition and Boundary-Fit Methods
A general-purpose automatic hexahedral mesh generation system for FEA (Finite Element Analysis) was developed based on a shape recognition technique and the boundary-fit method. In this system, a solid model is analyzed and decomposed into single-connected sub-models. Then, other sub-models topologically identical to the original ones are constructed using only orthogonal angles. Cubes are used...
متن کاملSheet-Based Hexahedral Mesh Generation
Historically, hexahedral finite element mesh generation has required significant geometric decomposition with the resulting consequence that generating hexahedral meshes can be extremely difficult to perform and automate and the process often takes several orders of magnitude longer in time to complete than current methods for generating tetrahedral meshes. In this work, we present methods for ...
متن کاملCombinatorial aspects of dual-based hexahedral mesh modification
Hexahedral meshes are used widely in finite element and finite volume analysis. While many analysts simply demand hexahedral meshes, there have also been studies which show in some cases that hexahedra actually perform better on a theoretical basis (see e.g. [1]). Fully automatic generation of hexahedral meshes suitable for FEA remains an unsolved problem. Automatic meshing algorithms exist for...
