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...

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 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...
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...
In engineering analysis, geometric symmetry, when exploited, has two potential benefits: (1) it can significantly reduce the computational time, and (2) it can simultaneously impr...
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 ...
