A Point Creation Strategy for Mesh Generation Using Crystal Lattices as Templates
نویسندگان
چکیده
A strategy is presented to define background meshes based on crystal lattices. Crystal-based background meshes have much better initial distribution of minimum dihedral angles than regular background meshes, facilitating the optimization procedures that rely on previously defined tetrahedral meshes. In addition, these background meshes can reduce significantly, or even eliminate, the number of slivers generated during a Delaunay triangulation.

Delaunay Tetrahedralization using an Advancing-Front Approach
This paper presents a procedure for eecient generation of three-dimensional unstructured meshes of tetrahedral elements. Initially, a constrained Delaunay mesh is generated wherein internal points are created using advancing-front point placement and are inserted using a Delaunay method. The overall procedure is applied repetitively until the mesh satisses a desired element size distribution fu...
متن کاملQuadrilateral Mesh Generation Using Hierarchical Templates
This paper describes a quadrilateral mesh generation algorithm ideally suited for transition subdomain meshes in the context of any domain decomposition meshing strategy. The algorithm is based on an automatic hierarchical region decomposition in which, in the last level, it is possible to generate quadrilateral elements with a conventional mapping strategy. In two dimensions, a subdomain is us...

متن کاملParallel 3d Mesh Generator
SUMMARY An innovative approach for parallel discretization of 3D domains is presented. The paralleliza-tion strategy is based on domain decomposition concept. Two levels of domain decomposition are considered | the model level and model entity parametric tree level. The decomposition on the model level splits the model into domains on the model entity basis. Since the decomposition may become u...
