Extraction and remeshing of ellipsoidal representations from mesh data
نویسندگان
چکیده
Dense 3D polygon meshes are now a pervasive product of various modelling and scanning processes that need to be subsequently processed and structured appropriately for various applications. In this paper we address the restructuring of dense polygon meshes using their segmentation based on a number of ellipsoidal regions. We present a simple segmentation algorithm where connected components of a mesh are fit to ellipsoidal surface regions. The segmentation of a mesh into a small number of ellipsoidal elements makes for a compact geometric representation and facilitates efficient geometric queries and transformations. We also contrast and compare two polygon remeshing techniques based on the ellipsoidal surfaces and the segmentation boundaries.

Generation of Mesh Variants via Volumetrical Representation and Subsequent Mesh Optimisation
Having reliable finite element (FE) meshes is one of the basics of reliable FE simulations. As development times i.e. in the car industry are expected to decrease, engineers need to edit and optimise FE meshes without access to the underlying CAD geometry. If meshes are not only locally effected by the editing operation, simple mesh optimisations such as mesh relaxation or local remeshing are n...
متن کاملA mesh generation procedure to simulate bimaterials
It is difficult to develop an algorithm which is able to generate the appropriate mesh around the interfaces in bimaterials. In this study, a corresponding algorithm is proposed for this class of unified structures made from different materials with arbitrary shapes. The non-uniform mesh is generated adaptively based on advancing front technique available in Abaqus software. Implementing severa...
متن کاملAdaptive 3D Remeshing for Metal Forming Simulation
An alternative remeshing methodology for 3D Abaqus explicit analyses which utilizes mesh mapping is presented. Excessive element distortion in 3D large deformation analyses necessitates remeshing, however in Abaqus explicit, the standard 3D remeshing techniques limits the analyst’s choice of element type. The presented technique allows remeshing of 3D perfectly plastic fully integrated higher o...
متن کاملPreparation of Control Space for Remeshing of Polygonal Surfaces
The subject of the article concerns the issues of remeshing, transforming a polygonal mesh into a triangular mesh adapted to its surface. From the initial polygonal mesh, the curvature of surface and boundary is retrieved and used to calculate a metric tensor varying in three-dimensional space. In the proposed approach, the curvature is computed using local approximation of surfaces and curves ...
متن کاملLaplace-Beltrami operator on Digital Curves
Many problems in image analysis, digital processing and shape optimization are expressed as variational problems and involve the discritization of laplacians. Indeed, PDEs containing Laplace-Beltrami operator arise in surface fairing, mesh smoothing, mesh parametrization, remeshing, feature extraction, shape matching, etc. The discretization of the laplace-Beltrami operator has been widely stud...
