Automatic Generation and Control of Finite Element Meshes
Mark S. Shephard · SAE technical papers on CD-ROM/SAE technical paper series · 1988
This paper discusses recent developments of finite element modeling techniques that, when properly combined, hold the promise of automating the finite element modeling process. The areas considered are fully automatic mesh generation, geometric modeling needs of automated finite element modeling, and adaptive finite element analysis. Finally, consideration is given to how the user can expect to see finite element modeling evolve from its current interactive mode of operation to fully automatic operation.
