An algorithm for the generation of hexahedralelement meshes is presented. The algorithm
works in two steps: first the interior of the volume is filled with a regular grid; then the …

Global surface parametrization often requires the use of cuts or charts due to non-trivial
topology. In recent years a focus has been on so-called seamless parametrizations, where …

A method is presented for subdividing a large class of solid objects into topologically simple
subregions suitable for automatic finite element meshing with hexahedral elements. The …

A method is presented for the subdivision of a large class of solids into simple subregions
suitable for automatic finite element meshing with hexahedral elements. The medial surface …

An integral part of parallel product and process design is simulation through numerical
analysis. This so-called simulation-driven design process often requires abstraction (from …

The generation of finite element meshes of 3D hexahedral elements can be performed by
subdividing the model into a number of simple bodies like hexahedra, triangular prisms, etc …

The efficient and practical representation and processing of geometrically or topologically
complex shapes often demands a partitioning into simpler patches. Possibilities range from …

This paper introduces the spatial twist continuum (STC), a powerful extension of the dual of
a hexahedral mesh. The STC captures the global connectivity constraints inherent in …

A method for generating quadrilateral finite element meshes in polygonal regions is
presented. The method uses geometric algorithms and is based partially on a triangular …

Multiblock‐structured meshes have significant advantages over fully unstructured meshes in
numerical simulation, but automatically generating these meshes is considerably more …
