Automated Hexahedral Mesh Generation by Swept Volume Decomposition and Recomposition
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper a method is presented to generate uniform hexahedral meshes automatically. In this method, a solid model with complex geometry is decomposed into swept volumes with simpler geometry. A sweepable face on the solid model is selected as the generator face to generate a swept volume. Each generator face is specified with node density and a quadrilateral mesh is generated from it. Then, the mesh is swept into a hexahedral mesh of the swept volume. Finally, all hexahedral meshes of swept volumes are recomposed into a hexahedral mesh of the original solid model.

Automatic Hexahedral Mesh Generation by Recursive Convex and Swept Volume Decomposition
In this paper we present a recursive volume decomposition method for automatically decomposing complex shaped objects with both protrusions and depressions into simpler sub-objects for automatic hexahedral mesh generation. The sub-volumes after decomposition are classified into either convex or swept volumes. For a convex volume, it is mapped to a collection of hexahedral objects. On the other ...
متن کاملAutomatic swept volume decomposition based on sweep directions extraction for hexahedral meshing
Automatic and high quality hexahedral meshing of complex solid models is still a challenging task. To guarantee the quality of the generated mesh, current commercial software normally requires users to manually decompose a complex solid model into a set of simple geometry like swept volume whose high quality hexahedral mesh can be easily generated. The manual decomposition is a time-consuming p...
متن کاملA global approach to multi-axis swept mesh generation
The sweeping algorithm is a classical algorithm that can generate high quality hexahedral meshes for swept volumes. However, the traditional sweeping algorithm can only generate single axis swept meshes. In order to expand the scope of the model that sweeping algorithms are applicable to, this paper proposes a global multi-axis swept mesh generation approach, which can robustly generate hexahed...

The current paper presents a pseudo-sweep algorithm to determine whether a given volume constitutes an approximately swept shape for the purpose of hexahedral finite element mesh generation. The pseudo-swept shape determination approach consists of three steps. Step 1: Determining the source surface, target surface, and lateral surface of a given solid object B. Two requirements: topological an...
متن کاملFeature Recognition Applications in Mesh Generation'
The use of feature recognition as part of an overall decomposition-based hexahedral meshing approach is described in this paper. Our meshing approach consists of feature recognition, using a c-loop or hybrid c-loop method, and the use of cutting surfaces to decompose the solid model. These steps are part of an iterative process, which proceeds either until no more features can be recognized or ...
