Abstract:
      HT5SS]Based on the advancing front method, an automated triangular mesh generation algorithm for arbitrarily shaped planar regions is presented in this paper. The proposed algorithm has the advantages of adaptation to complicate boundaries, high quality boundary mesh and full automation. Approaches such as topological refinement and smoothing are incorporated. Initial and boundary conditions can also be specified after triangulation, which leads to the greatly reduced data input as well as the avoidance of calculation due to boundary searching. Examples are included to demonstrate the capabilities of the algorithm.
