Abstract :
In this paper, an automatic hexahedral mesh generation method is presented in order to control the element size along each direction. By utilizing Ellipsoidal Bubbles as mesh density data, the present method can generate the mesh with flat elements for analysis, including very thin domain such as eddy current regions of conductor, motor air gaps, and so on. In order to verify the effectiveness of the present method, the finite element analysis was actually performed
