| Abstract | A representation for a mesh based on the topological hierarchy of vertices, edges, faces and regions, is described. The representation is general and easily supports procedures ranging from mesh generation to adaptive analysis processes. Three implementations are given which concentrate on different aspects of performance (storage requirements an speed). Comparisons are made to other published representations. |
