Abstract

A brief review of geometry definition methods and non-structured tetrahedral meshes construction is represented. Several techniques for tetrahedral and surface mesh generation are discussed. Four different approaches are proposed for surface mesh generation: analytical boundary parameterization, interface with CAD systems, surface mesh refinement, and constructive solid geometry. A combination of two techniques is proposed for volume meshing.

Keywords: tetrahedral meshes, surface meshes, CAD, constructive solid geometry, Delaunay triangulation, advancing front technique
