A local cell quality metric is introduced and used to construct a variational functional for a grid smoothing algorithm. A maximum principle is proved and the properties of the loc...
An “adaptive” variant of Ruppert’s Algorithm for producing quality triangular planar meshes is introduced. The algorithm terminates for arbitrary Planar Straight Line Graph ...
The 8-tetrahedra longest-edge (8T-LE) partition of any tetrahedron is defined in terms of three consecutive edge bisections, the first one performed by the longest-edge. The ass...
Topology modification of hexahedral meshes has been considered difficult due to the propagation of topological modifications non-locally. We address this problem by working in the...
Finite element analysts and designers need to feel confident in the results of their analyses before sending a product to prototype or production. Mesh discretization can greatly ...
