Abstract:
      Based on geometrical adaptivity, a remeshing method of hexahedral element mesh with grid-based approach is presented. Several key technologies about hexahedral element remeshing for FEM are studied, such as the criterion of remeshing, the getting of geometrical shape of old mesh model and the transformation of state variables from the old mesh into the new mesh. The emphasis of this paper is focused on the remeshing algorithms of hexahedral element mesh based on geometric adaptive. First, the geometrical features of the old mesh model are extracted and the refinement information fields of the source points are constructed based on the geometric features. Secondly, the core mesh is constructed with grid-based approach then the boundary mesh is constructed by linking the core mesh with the surface of the old mesh model. Finally, mesh smoothing and topology optimization are employed to improve the quality of the resulting mesh. The effectiveness and robustness of the algorithm are tested through applications.
