INGEN: a general-purpose mesh generator for finite-element codes

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5145170
INGEN is a general-purpose mesh generator for two- and three-dimensional finite-element codes. The basic parts of the code are surface and three-dimensional region generators that use linear-blending interpolation formulas. These generators are based on an i,j,k index scheme, which is used to number nodal points, construct elements, and develop displacement and traction boundary conditions. In addition to a description of the basic theory of the INGEN code, this report includes user's instructions for INGEN and example problems.
