Effective adaptation technique for hexahedral mesh
Yoshitaka Wada, Hiroshi Okuda · Concurrency and Computation Practice and Experience · 2002
Abstract This paper describes a simple and effective adaptive technique for mesh refinement in finite‐element method models. The proposed refinement method is based on a modified octree refinement approach, and can be applied to an arbitrary hexahedral unstructured mesh. The implementation, Hex‐R, is used in conjunction with the finite‐element viewer GPPView, and applied to a complex model. The proposed method is demonstrated to be capable of easily and reliably generating an adaptive mesh. Copyright © 2002 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
