Abstract
We are proposing here an approach of the automatic three-dimensional mesh generation problem featuring a pre-optimization scheme based on the discretization error and on the “a priori” evaluation of a Brep model in order to identify, directly (without FE calculations) and automatically, geometric features causing stress concentration. Also, the design process usually implies modifications of an initial solution. We are also proposing here an original approach allowing the automatic remeshing of 3D parts in the case of geometric and/or topologic modifications.
