Abstract: A computer-implemented method of modifying a finite element mesh. The method includes providing an original-input-orphan-mesh, selecting and extracting at least a part of the original-input-orphan-mesh as an orphan-element-patch-object, generating faces on the orphan-element-patch-object as a faces-on-mesh-object geometry, generating a new mesh patch element based on the faces-on-mesh-object-geometry and at least one changed meshing-parameter. The changed meshing-parameter is assigned to generate a new mesh patch element that is different to the corresponding original-input-orphan-mesh. The method further includes generating an amended orphan mesh by replacing the orphan-element-patch-object of the original-input-orphan-mesh by the new mesh patch element.

Abstract: A computing system may include a linear mesh access engine configured to access a linear mesh and a target geometry as well as curved mesh generation engine configured to construct a curved mesh. Construction of the curved mesh may include projecting the linear mesh on to the target geometry to form a projected mesh, determining deformation patches included in the projected mesh, selecting a cost function to apply to the deformation patches from a set of available cost functions, iteratively adapting the deformation patches based on the selected cost function to obtain adjusted mesh elements, and forming the curved mesh as a combination of the adjusted mesh elements and portions of the projected mesh not determined as part of the deformation patches.
