  • Patent number: 7295205
    Abstract: Computer-implemented method and system for optimizing a finite element mesh. Computing devices are configured to calculate a quality score for at least one original element in a finite element mesh based upon two or more quality attributes simultaneously. A quality score for at least one substitute element for the original element is calculated based upon the two or more quality attributes. If one or more substitute element(s) have a quality score that is better than the quality score of the original element(s), the original element(s) is/are replaced with the substitute element(s) having the best quality score. A quality score may be calculated for each of a plurality of combinations of one or more substitute elements. Input may be provided specifying at least one quality threshold value for comparing the two or more element quality parameters (skew, warp, aspect ratio, etc.).
