| Abstract | A geometry-based automatic mesh generation and control environment is presented. The environment consists of a set of tools that support the automatic creation and modification of simplex meshes directly from non-manifold solid models. The environment builds on three flexible object-oriented structures representing the geometric model, attribute information associated with the model, and the mesh. The mesh generation functions are layered and can be tailored to generate controlled simplex meshes for a wide range of problem types, including those that need curvilinear meshes or highly anisotropic meshes. |
