Abstract

A parallel adaptive tetrahedral mesh generation program using the advancing front method is described. The problem domain is initially defined by a course background mesh of tetrahedral elements which forms the input for finite element analysis and from which adaptive parameters are calculated. Parallel adaptive mesh generation is then carried out by discretising each background element in isolation of the rest of the domain using the nodal parameters previously calculated and undertaken by the advancing front method.
