Abstract
A method for generating a finite element mesh that includes receiving, by a computer system, data regarding a model of a simulated object, categorizing one or more geometric features of the model and dividing the one or more geometric features of the model into surface shapes based on the data regarding the model. The method includes generating a mesh for each surface shape; and interconnecting the generated mesh to form a mesh for the model.
Claims23
A method for generating a finite element mesh, comprising:
- receiving, by a computer system, data regarding a model of a simulated object;
- categorizing, by the computer system, one or more geometric features of the model;
- dividing the one or more geometric features of the model into surface shapes based on the data regarding the model;
- generating a first mesh for each surface shape;
- and
- interconnecting the first mesh of each surface shape to form a second mesh for the model.
