Abstract
The meshing analysis for the TA worm is performed. The formulae to determine the key points on the boundary of the contact zone are proposed. Based on this, the strategy to obtain the contact lines and the instantaneous contact points is put forward. The existence of the constant contact line is proved and verified numerically. The numerical consequences manifest that the local meshing quality is relatively good. The meshing analysis makes clear that the way to improve the meshing behaviour further is to remove the constant contact line by the modification.
