| Abstract | This paper presents an adaptation scheme for surface meshes. Both refinement and coarsening tools are based upon local retriangulation.. They can maintain the geometric features of the given surface mesh and its quality as well. A mesh gradation tool to smooth out large size differences between neighboring (in space) mesh faces and a procedure to detect and resolve self-intersections in the mesh are also presented. Both are driven by an octree structure and make use of the presented refinement tool. |
