Abstract

While 3D mesh generators do exist, those that meet the special needs of nonstop parametrically described shape iterations for optimization are commercial and use unknown algorithms. For nonstop optimization iterations, the mesh needs to be generated for changing parameters without user intervention. This paper presents our parameterized mesh generation with example NDE and shape optimization problems. The mesh runs on the CPU while finite element optimization is on the GPU for speed.
