چکیده
In this paper, we will discuss the approaches and technologies associated with the development of the Geometry-Grid Toolkit (GGTK) and MiniCAD. GGTK is a software library that provides core functionalities in geometry, topology and mesh generation and MiniCAD is a software system with graphical user interface built on top of GGTK. The application of GGTK/MiniCAD to the development of customized packages for automated analysis and parametric design involving complex geometry is demonstrated. The progress realized in the development of automatic and parametric mesh generation technologies for high fidelity simulations is presented. Examples are presented to demonstrate the benefits and effectiveness of this library. The future vision and development plans for this library are also outlined.

An Extension of the Advancing Front Method to Composite Geometry
This paper introduces a new approach to automatic mesh generation over composite geometry. This approach is based on an adaptation of advancing front mesh generation techniques over curved surfaces, and its main features are : elements are generated directly over multiple parametric surfaces: advancing front propagation is adapted through the extension to composite geometry of propagation direc...
متن کاملA modeling methodology for finite element mesh generation of multi-region models with parametric surfaces
This paper presents a description of the reorganization of a geometric modeler, MG, designed to support new capabilities of a topological module (CGC) that allows the detection of closed-off solid regions described by surface patches in non-manifold geometric models defined by NURBS. These patches are interactively created by the user by means of the modeler’s graphics interface, and may result...
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 کاملA parametric-associative modelling of aeronautical concepts for structural optimisation
In this work, a scheme of representation for aircraft structural concepts is identified. Based on this scheme, a parametric–associative geometrical modelling of the aeronautic structure, consisting in a quad-mapped mesh, is proposed. The mesh generation is based on a hierarchical scheme ensuring the one-to-one correspondence between mesh elements belonging to adjacent primitives. The automatic ...
متن کاملHigh Quality Geometric Meshing of CAD Surfaces
A wide range of surfaces can be defined by means of composite parametric surfaces as is the case for most CAD modelers. There are, essentially, two approaches to meshing parametric surfaces: direct and indirect. Popular direct methods include the octree-based method, the advancing-front-based method and the paving-based method working directly in the tridimensional space. The indirect approach ...
