Delaunay Tetrahedralization using an Advancing-Front Approach

چکیده
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 function. The algorithm combines the advantages of eeciency and nice mathematical properties of a Delaunay approach with advancing-front high-quality point placement strategy. Mesh quality and statistics are presented for a variety of three-dimensional examples. The proposed method can be extended to isotropic or anisotropic adaptive mesh generation.

Three-Dimensional Delaunay Mesh Generation Using a Modified Advancing Front Approach
We introduce a meshing method which uses an advancing front Delaunay algorithm. The presented Delaunay technique avoids the need for a temporary tetrahedralization of the convex hull and a later following segmentation step which is typical for commonly used methods. The algorithm is suitable for local regridding applications. This is an important issue for element quality improvements and for m...

The paper presents an algorithm of volume meshing by using the Advancing Front Technique (AFT) combined with the Delaunay Triangulation. The tetrahedronization starts with the surface mesh with the elements oriented towards the interior 3-D domain. The main idea is based upon AFT, with simultaneous points insertion and tetrahedra creation. The characteristic feature of the approach is the part ...

Problem of tetrahedral meshing of three-dimensional domains whose boundaries are curved surfaces is wide open. Traditional approach consists in an approximation of curved boundaries by piecewise linear boundaries before mesh generation. As the result mesh quality may deteriorate. This paper presents a technique for Delaunay-based tetrahedralization in which a set of constrained facets is formed...
