Abstract

With the progress of 3D scanning technology and storing mesh data to 3D model databases, the use of the meshes obtained by scanning and DB querying in CAE have been strongly required in addition to those obtained from traditional meshing of solid models. In our research, we developed a multiresolution mesh processing system for triangular meshes to realize CAE using various kinds of meshes. Our system consists of three functions based on the multiresolution techniques: mesh quality improvement, mesh properties control, and local mesh density control. This paper describes these functions including the extension for tetrahedral meshes, and also shows their effective use in the CAE
