Anisotropic Mesh Generation and Its Application to the Surface Triangulation[J]. Journal of Image and Graphics, 2002, 7(9): 950. DOI: 10.11834/jig.200209300.
Meshing technology is of great importance in the areas of engineering analysis and scientific computing visualization. This paper proposes a anisotropic meshing method
In order to extends the Delaunay method to anisotropic contexts the elliptical distance and elliptical matrix is introduced and defined
and the circum|ellipse of a triangle is also defined. And then the method is applied to the surface triangulation
which takes the first fundmental form of surface as the elliptical matrix. Consequently
the definition of surface triangulation is obtained and an algorithm is proposed. The speed of the algorithm is greatly faster than the previous methods. Our approach can uniformly copy with quadratic and trimmed NURBS surfaces.
