Virtual prototyping and numerical simulations are increasingly replacing real mock-ups and experiments in industrial product development. Many of these simulations, e.g. for the p...
In the finite element analysis that deals with large deformation, the process usually produces distorted elements at the later stages of the analysis. These distorted elements lea...
This paper presents a generic approach to mesh global optimization via node movement, based on a discrete graph-theoretic model. Mesh is considered as an electric system with lump...
The use of CAD in design makes it possible to represent complex components “as manufactured” with a great number of details. A transformation of such models into Finite Elemen...

Sweep method is one of the most robust techniques to generate hexahedral meshes in extrusion volumes. One of the main issues to be dealt by any sweep algorithm is the projection o...
