OSTI ID:5113904
An Automated MEhsing Knowledge System that automatically generates quandrilateral finite element meshes is discussed in this paper. This system, AMEKS, operates in conjunction with existing algorithmic software on a large class of two-dimensional bodies given only their boundaries as input. These bodies can consist of multiple materials and can have both curved and straight boundaries. Prior to AMEKS, this task required that a skilled analyst spend a few hours to a few days decomposing each complex body into primitive regions and preparing each primitive for algorithmic meshing, based on problem geometry and mesh requirements. With AMEKS, quadrilateral meshes comparable to those of experienced analysts are generated automatically in a small fraction of the time formerly required.
