Title: Systems, methods and computer program products for constructing complex geometries using layered and linked hexahedral element meshes

Patent ·
OSTI ID:1650924

Systems, methods and computer program products for creating 3D representations of bodies are disclosed. The systems, methods and computer program products include the construction of FE meshes representing complex geometries. The complex geometries may be artificially or naturally formed or designed geometries. The techniques reduce the number of elements as much as possible to save on computer run time while maintaining computational accuracy.
