Abstract

A physics-based node creation method is described that generates smooth node distributions for an isotropic tetrahedral mesh generation program. The method automatically adds and deletes nodes to meet the spacing field defined by the input boundary triangulation. Adaptation is possible by defining fixed source nodes that interact with the interior nodes in the same physics simulation. Several example cases demonstrate the improved mesh quality resulting from this node creation scheme as compared to nodes based on edge subdivision.
