Automatic All Quadrilateral Mesh Adaption through Refinement and Coarsening
نویسندگان
چکیده
This work presents a new approach to conformal all-quadrilateral mesh adaptation. Most current quadrilateral adaptivity techniques rely on mesh refinement or a complete remesh of the domain. In contrast, we introduce a new method that incorporates both conformal refinement and coarsening strategies on an existing mesh of any density or configuration. Given a sizing function, this method modifies the mesh by combining template-based quadrilateral refinement methods with recent developments in localized quadrilateral coarsening and quality improvement into an automated mesh adaptation routine. Implementation details and examples are included.

Adaptive Mesh Coarsening for Quadrilateral and Hexahedral Meshes
Mesh adaptation methods can improve the efficiency and accuracy of solutions to computational modeling problems. In many applications involving quadrilateral and hexahedral meshes, local modifications which maintain the original element type are desired. For triangle and tetrahedral meshes, effective refinement and coarsening methods that satisfy these criteria are available. Refinement methods...
متن کاملConformal Refinement of Unstructured Quadrilateral Meshes
A multilevel adaptive refinement technique is presented for unstructured quadrilateral meshes in which the mesh is kept conformal at all times. This means that the refined mesh, like the original, is formed of only quadrilateral elements that intersect strictly along edges or at vertices, i.e., vertices of one quadrilateral element do not lie in an edge of another quadrilateral. Elements are re...

An anisotropic solution adaptive method based on unstructured quadrilateral meshes for inviscid compressible flows is proposed. The data structure, the directional refinement and coarsening, including the method for initializing the refined new cells, for the anisotropic adaptive method are described. It provides efficient high resolution of flow features, which are aligned with the original qu...
متن کاملGeneration of quadrilateral mesh over analytical curved surfaces
An automatic adaptive quadrilateral mesh conversion scheme for the generation of adaptive refinement meshes over analytical curved surfaces is proposed. The starting point of the quadrilateral mesh generator is a background triangular mesh of the curved surface. By a carefully controlled process to merge two triangles at a time the triangular mesh can be completely converted to quadrilaterals. ...
متن کاملA Remeshing Procedure for Numerical Simulation
This article presents a remeshing procedure of thin sheets for numerical simulation of metal forming process in three dimensions. During simulation of metal forming processes, where large plastic deformations are possible, severe mesh distortion occur after a few incremental steps. Hence an automatic mesh generation with remeshing capabilities is essential to carry out the finite element analys...
