  • Mesh generation
    Patent number: 12367645
    Abstract: A computer implemented method of remeshing patches in a triangular meshed surface that employs an advancing front process is disclosed. An initial surface includes a triangular surface mesh, and a target size field that specifies an optimal triangle edge length at each position on the triangular surface mesh is defined over every point in. The triangular surface mesh is partitioned into patches, where each patch includes a contiguous set of adjacent faces delimited by closed loops of boundary or feature edges and has principal surface curvatures. The method employs an asterisk field generated from a cross field calculated for the patch in order to generate a remeshed surface.
