A PRACTICAL APPROACH TO TRIANGULATION OF PLANAR SURFACE
Shahidul Islam, Mezbah Uddin · 2010
A triangular mesh generation algorithm is presented in this paper. Based on this procedure a fully automatic object oriented program in C++ language is developed for any arbitrary 2D geometry. The program generates unstructured triangular surface mesh which can be used for finite element analysis. The program gives mesh output in a script file format for viewing in AutoCAD. Importance is given to the quality of the triangles generated so that better results can be achieved by the finite element analysis. A very practical approach has been taken in this regard. A number of example meshes are presented to show the effectiveness of the algorithm and program.
