Abstract

This paper presents a new automated method of quadrilateral meshes with random line constraints which have not been fully considered in previous models. The authors developed a new looping scheme and a direct quadrilateral forming algorithm based on advanced front techniques. This generator overcomes the limitations of previous studies such as line constraint, unmeshed hole and mesh refinement. A qualitative test reveals that our algorithm is reliable and suitable at the field needed for very accurate results. The developed direct method to handle line-typed features automatically makes the multiple discretizations without any user interaction and modification.
