Title: Structured Surface Grid Generation on Boundary Represented Geometry

Conference ·
OSTI ID:15005134

Generation of surface meshes is the first step in many grid generation processes. For the generation of block-structured meshes, structured surface meshes have to be generated first. This paper investigates the problem of generating a structured surface mesh across multiple surface patches on an object with the boundary representation and relates the problem to other commonly encountered issues in CAD/CAM. It describes a method for solving the problem. This method is based on initial surface construction, point projection and a mixed model-space and parameter-space based elliptic smoothing.
