Abstract: In one embodiment, simulation systems and methods perform tessellation, on a GPU in a simulation system, of finite element method (FEM) elements in one or more simulated objects using physics solution data directly obtained by the GPU from the solver. In one embodiment, software compiled to run on the GPU can process the raw, native physics solution data to tessellate non-linear FEM elements without requiring preprocessing or ray tracing. In one embodiment, the tessellation can be performed on the fly based on a user's selected view of the simulated objects, and the selected view can be used to select a subset of the FEM elements and perform a tessellation on only the subset. In one embodiment, a level of tessellation can be dynamically determined based on the user's selected view.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a process for preparing a transition metal-Schiff base imine ligand complex. The process involves direct chelation of a Schiff base imine ligand by adding a transition metal halide in a halogenated fluid medium at a temperature in the range of 20° C. to 40° C. The process employs less hazardous reagents and mild reaction conditions to obtain the complex. The complex is efficient to be used as a catalyst for the production of disentangled ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene.
