Generating Well-Shaped Delaunay Meshes in 3D

چکیده
A triangular mesh in 3D is a decomposition of a given geometric domain into tetrahedra. The mesh is wellshaped if the aspect ratio of every of its tetrahedra is bounded from above by a constant. It is Delaunay if the interior of the circum-sphere of each of its tetrahedra does not contain any other mesh vertices. Generating a well-shaped Delaunay mesh for any 3D domain has been a long term outstanding problem. In this paper, we present an e cient 3D Delaunay meshing algorithm that mathematically guarantees the well-shape quality of the mesh, if the domain does not have acute angles. The main ingredient of our algorithm is a novel re nement technique which systematically forbids the formation of slivers, a family of bad elements that none of the previous known algorithms can cleanly remove, especially near the domain boundary | needless to say, that our algorithm ensure that there is no sliver near the boundary of the domain.

Perturbing Slivers in 3D Delaunay Meshes
Isotropic tetrahedron meshes generated by Delaunay refinement algorithms are known to contain a majority of well-shaped tetrahedra, as well as spurious sliver tetrahedra. As the slivers hamper stability of numerical simulations we aim at removing them while keeping the triangulation Delaunay for simplicity. The solution which explicitly perturbs the slivers through random vertex relocation and ...
متن کاملSpacing Control and Sliver-free Delaunay Mesh
|We are often required to generate a Delaunay mesh whose element size is within a constant factor of a control spacing function, i.e., well-conformed, in addition to the fact that each mesh element has small aspect ratio, i.e., well-shaped. However, generating wellshaped Delaunay meshes is an open problem for a long time. Observe that slivers have small radius-edge ratio thus the Delaunay trian...
متن کاملSliver-free Three Dimensional Delaunay Mesh Generation By
A k ey step in the nite element method is to generate well-shaped meshes in 3D. A mesh is well-shaped if every tetrahedron element has a small aspect ratio. It is an old outstanding problem to generate well-shaped Delaunay meshes in three or more dimensions. Existing algorithms do not completely solve this problem, primarily because they can not eliminate all slivers. A sliver is a tetrahedron ...
متن کاملFeature preserving Delaunay mesh generation from 3D multi-material images
Generating realistic geometric models from 3D segmented images is an important task in many biomedical applications. Segmented 3D images impose particular challenges for meshing algorithms because they contain multimaterial junctions forming features such as surface patches, edges and corners. The resulting meshes should preserve these features to ensure the visual quality and the mechanical so...
