A New Smoothing Algorithm for Quadrilateral and Hexahedral Meshes
نویسنده
چکیده
Mesh smoothing (or r-refinement) are used in computer aided design, interpolation, numerical solution of partial differential equations, etc. We derive a new smoothing called parallelogram smoothing. The new smoothing tries to fit a given domain by the parallelograms. We present several numerical examples and compare our results against the traditional Laplacian smoothing. Presented numerical work shows that the new approach is superior to the Laplacian smoothing.

Simultaneous untangling and smoothing of quadrilateral and hexahedral meshes using an object-oriented framework
In this work, we present a simultaneous untangling and smoothing technique for quadrilateral and hexahedral meshes. The algorithm iteratively improves a quadrilateral or hexahedral mesh by minimizing an objective function defined in terms of a regularized algebraic distortion measure of the elements. We propose several techniques to improve the robustness and the computational efficiency of the...
متن کاملSurface Smoothing and Quality Improvement of Quadrilateral/Hexahedral Meshes with Geometric Flow
This paper describes an approach to smooth the surface and improve the quality of quadrilateral/hexahedral meshes with feature preserved using geometric flow. For quadrilateral surface meshes, the surface diffusion flow is selected to remove noise by relocating vertices in the normal direction, and the aspect ratio is improved with feature preserved by adjusting vertex positions in the tangent ...
متن کاملSharp Feature Preservation in Octree-Based Hexahedral Mesh Generation for CAD Assembly Models
This paper describes an automatic and robust approach to convert 3D CAD assembly models into unstructured hexahedral meshes that are conformal to the given B-Reps (boundary-representations) with sharp feature preservation. In previous works, we developed an octree-based isocontouring method to construct unstructured hexahedral meshes for manifold and non-manifold domains. However, sharp feature...
متن کاملQuadrilateral and Hexahedral Element Meshes
This chapter explains techniques for the generation of quadrilateral and hexahedral element meshes. Since structured meshes are discussed in detail in other parts of this volume, we focus on the generation of unstructured meshes, with special attention paid to the 3D case. Quadrilateral or hexahedral element meshes are the meshes of choice for many applications, a fact that can be explained emp...
متن کاملOptimization-based Quadrilateral and Hexhedral Mesh
The accuracy and eeciency of the solution to numerical systems depends on the quality of the mesh used. Automatic mesh generation and adaptive reenement methods can, however, produce poor quality elements, even invalid elements, for quadrilateral or hexahedral mesh. We present an optimization-based approach for quadrilateral or hexahedral mesh untangling that maximizes the minimum area or volum...
