Abstract

Triangulation and topology optimization methods are proposed for optimal matching of the two-dimensional elements which are obtained from the complicated three-dimensional structure. To improve the matching performance in constructing the three-dimensional elements, the topology optimal transformation method among the triangulated elements has been proposed. The probability of optimal matching between two cross sections is increased by the topology transformation. The construction of three-dimensional elements obtained by these methods can make it possible to analyze the structure variously
