Abstract
We present in this paper a new fully integrated process for analysis of two-dimensional mechanical bodies by the finite element method. We develop the three most important points of the algorithm: the initial geometric auto-meshing, the standard analysis with error evaluation and the adaptive meshing with reanalysis. The convergence of the process is briefly approached through two applications performed with C A.ST.O R, the software developed at CETIM, where this automatized procedure has been implemented. The results show the efficiency and availability of our auto-adaptive analysis method.
