Automatic quadrilateral mesh generation for FEM using dynamic bubble system

In this paper, a method for automatic quadrilateral (Quad) mesh generation using dynamic bubble system is presented. The proposed method can be separated into three separate computational processes: the first one generates nodes inside the analysis domain using physically-based system of bubbles, the second one for automatic generation of Quad finite elements using previously generated set of nodes, and the last process where the generated elements are smoothed using Laplacian smoothing operator. The proposed method is suitable and easily extendable for automatic meshing of a complex 3-D domains
