A physically based mesh generation algorithm: applications in computational medicine
David M. Weinstein, S. Parker, Christopher R. Johnson · 2002
The process of generating a finite element mesh is accelerated by integrating physical and geometrical constraints into the initial mesh. By beginning with a near-optimal initial mesh, fewer iterations of refinement are needed to obtain mesh convergence. We apply this algorithm to large-scale bioelectric field problems involving the complex geometries of the human body. As an initial testbed, we have constructed an algorithm to generate meshes from segmented MR images.>
