An Implementation of Thin-Shell Tetrahedral Mesh Generation
نویسنده
چکیده
Deformable models are used in many computer graphic and animation applications, such as virtual environments, video games, medical simulations, and engineering analysis. Techniques for simulating deformable objects often require a mesh of discrete, tetrahedral elements that represent the object being modeled. This paper describes the implementation of a fast and robust method to generate a tetrahedral mesh from a polygonal surface mesh. The generated mesh may be used in deformable modeling techniques, such as the finite element method (FEM).

The Adaptive Thin Shell Tetrahedral Mesh
Tetrahedral meshes are often used for simulating deformable objects. Unlike engineering disciplines that often focuses on accuracy, computer graphics is biased towards stable, robust, and fast methods. In that spirit we present an approach for building an adaptive inward shell of the surface of an object. The goal is to device a simple and fast algorithm capable of building a topologically cons...
متن کاملTetrahedral Mesh Generation for Medical Imaging⋆
We describe the open source implementation of an adaptive tetrahedral mesh generator particularly targeted for non-rigid FEM registration of MR images. While many medical imaging applications require robust mesh generation, there are few codes available. Moreover, most of the practical implementations are commercial. The algorithm we have implemented has been previously evaluated for simulation...
متن کاملLine-Stepping for Shell Meshes
This paper presents a new method for creating a thick shell tetrahedral mesh from a triangular surface mesh. Our main goal is to create the thickest possible shell mesh with the lowest possible number of tetrahedrons. Low count tetrahedral meshes is desirable for animating deformable objects where accuracy is less important and to produce shell maps and signed distance fields. In this work we p...

Low count tetrahedral meshes is desirable for animating deformable objects where accuracy is less important and to produce shell maps. This report develops a new method for creating a thick shell tetrahedral mesh from a triangular surface mesh. We propose to use signed distance fields to implicit represent the medial surface representation of a surface mesh. An iteratively algorithm is develope...
متن کاملBalanced Octree for Tetrahedral Mesh Generation
Nowadays, with the advances of Finite Element Analysis (FEA) packages, some of the engineering and design problems such as stress or thermal deformation can be successfully solved. These are convenient for better incorporating the design constraints of various tasks such as injection molded parts, or rapid prototyping and tooling. Mesh generation is the major step of finite element method for n...
