Octree-based Generation of Hexahedral Element Meshes
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present a new algorithm for the generation of hexahedral element meshes. The algorithm starts with an octree discretization of the interior of the input object which is converted to a conforming hexahedral element mesh. Then the isomorphism technique 9] is used to adapt the mesh to the object boundary.

HULK - Simple and fast generation of structured hexahedral meshes for improved subsurface simulations
Short for Hexahedra from Unique Location in (K)convex Polyhedra – HULK is a simple and efficient algorithm to generate hexahedral meshes from generic STL files describing a geological model to be used in simulation tools based on the finite difference, finite volume or finite element methods. Using binary space partitioning of the input geometry and octree refinement on the grid, a successive i...

The design process of a mesh generation tool for automatic remeshing of hexahedral element meshes is shown as well as its application to the field of simulating metal forming processes. Automatic hexahedral remeshing is very important allowing an economic analyses of processes with large deformation. Although the industry demands robust tools for automatic hexahedral remeshing, previously there...
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 کاملA Computational Database System for Generating Unstructured Hexahedral Meshes with Billions of Elements
For a large class of physical simulations with relatively simple geometries, unstructured octree-based hexahedral meshes provide a good compromise between adaptivity and simplicity. However, generating unstructured hexahedral meshes with over 1 billion elements remains a challenging task. We propose a database approach to solve this problem. Instead of merely storing generated meshes into conve...
