This work presents an innovative method to insert an open surface in a tetrahedral mesh. The insertion of a surface in a mesh can be done with 2 different approaches: introduce the surface to the geometry before generating the mesh, or insert the surface once the mesh is generated. This work uses the second approach. Essentially, the surface is first approximated by a set of faces of the existing mesh. This set is refined to obtain a more accurate approximation. Finally, the set is processed to satisfy some topological properties and projected to the actual surface.
