Topology modification of hexahedral meshes has been considered difficult due to the propagation of topological modifications non-locally. We address this problem by working in the...
Finite element analysts and designers need to feel confident in the results of their analyses before sending a product to prototype or production. Mesh discretization can greatly ...

In this study, an automated adaptive mesh control scheme, based on local mesh modifications, is developed for the finite element simulations of 3D metal forming processes. Error i...
High reynolds number ow simulations exhibit strong gradients normal to walls and across shear layers requiring much ner resolution of the solution in some directions compared to o...
An algorithm to generate volume meshes by extrusion from surface meshes of arbitrary topology is presented. The algorithm utilizes a three-step, advancing layer scheme to extrude ...
