Abstract
To prepare the ground for dynamics simulation with the Finite Element Method, we introduce a previously developed mesh representation algorithm, isosurface stuffing, which fills an object domain with a uniformly sized tetrahedral mesh. This algorithm generates tetrahedra from a small set of precomputed stencils. A variant of the algorithm creates a mesh with internal grading. That is, on the boundary where high resolution is desired, the tetrahedra elements are fine and uniformly sized; and in the interior, the tetrahedron may be coarser and vary in size.
