High Quality Surface Remeshing Using Harmonic Maps
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, we present an efficient and robust technique for surface remeshing based on harmonic maps. We show how to ensure a one-to-one mapping for the discrete harmonic map and introduce a cubic representation of the geometry based on curved PN triangles. Topological and geometrical limitations of harmonic maps are also put to the fore and discussed. We show that, with the proposed approach, we are able to recover high quality meshes from both low input STL triangulations and complex surfaces defined by many CAD patches. The overall procedure is implemented in the opensource mesh generator Gmsh [1]. Copyright c © 2009 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Adaptive 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 کاملEQSM: An efficient high quality surface grid generation method based on remeshing
The EQSM method for the generation of unstructured triangular surface grids is presented. The method is based on remeshing techniques and avoids the need for traditional mesh triangulation approaches, such as the advancing front and the Delaunay methods. Normalized edge lengths, based on a metric derived from curvature or from a user-specified spacing, are employed as the remeshing criterion. I...
متن کاملHarmonic Maps and Their Applications in Surface Matching
The surface-matching problem is investigated in this paper using a mathematical tool called harmonic maps. The theory of harmonic maps studies the mapping between different metric manifolds from the energyminimization point of view. With the application of harmonic maps, a surface representation called harmonic shape images is generated to represent and match 3D freeform surfaces. The basic ide...
متن کاملDirect (Re)Meshing for Efficient Surface Processing
Many geometry processing techniques exploit the connection between shape and connectivity in triangle meshes to enable advanced processing of the data. These techniques face the challenge that triangle meshes, whether generated by a modeling tool or by 3D scanning, typically contain low quality triangles. The process of constructing good meshes out of sub-optimal ones is termed surface remeshin...
متن کاملGeodesic-based Surface Remeshing
Generation of surface meshes remains an active research problem despite the many publications addressing this topic. The main issues which must be treated by a good remeshing algorithm are: element quality, sizing control, approximation accuracy, robustness and efficiency. One reason surface meshing is such a challenging problem is the fact that using the Euclidean metric to measure distances b...
