A comparison of two optimization methods for mesh quality improvement
We compare inexact Newton and block coordinate descent optimization methods for improving the quality of a mesh by repositioning the vertices, where the overall quality is measure...

Embarrassingly parallel mesh refinement by edge subdivision
We have previously proposed a new technique for the communication-free adaptive refinement of tetrahedral meshes that works for all configurations. Implementations of the scheme mu...

Mesh size functions for implicit geometries and PDE-based gradient limiting
Mesh generation and mesh enhancement algorithms often require a mesh size function to specify the desired size of the elements. We present algorithms for automatic generation of a...

Parallel anisotropic 3D mesh adaptation by mesh modification
Improvements to a local modification-based anisotropic mesh adaptation procedure are presented. The first improvement focuses on control of the local operations that modify the mes...

Object-oriented interactive mechanism design and analysis
We have developed a Ch Mechanism Toolkit for analysis and design of mechanisms. The toolkit was developed using Ch, an embeddable C/C++ interpreter with high-level extensions. The ...
