This paper presents a simple technique for generating anisotropic surface triangulations using a generic unstructured quadrilateral decomposition of CAD entities that map to a log...
We compare inexact Newton and coordinate descent methods for optimizing the quality of a mesh by repositioning the vertices, where quality is measured by the harmonic mean of the ...

In the finite element analysis that deals with large deformation, the process usually produces distorted elements at the later stages of the analysis. These distorted elements lea...
We introduce an indexing scheme for the vertices of semi-regular meshes, based on interleaving quadtrees rooted on the edges of the base mesh. Using this indexing scheme we develo...
We present several mesh smoothing schemes based on the concept of optimal Delaunay triangulations. We define the optimal Delaunay triangulation (ODT) as the triangulation that mi...
The paper presents an a priori procedure to control the element size and shape variation for meshing algorithms governed by anisotropic sizing specifications. The field of desir...
We describe some extensions to the grid smoothing scheme described in [1, 2] that deal with the following issues: 1) the clustering effect of changing valence in an unstructured ...
Generating large 3D unstructured meshes with over 1 billion elements has been a challenging task. Fortunately, for a large class of applications with relatively simple geometries,...
