Abstract | This paper overviews currently popular approaches to automatic three-dimensional finite element mesh generation. Emphasis is placed on the Finite Octree mesh generation, including a discussion of the mesh control functions available with it and its use in automated, adaptive finite element analysis. The paper also includes a brief discussion of the integration of automatic mesh generation with CAD systems including the support of non-manifold geometric models. |
