Abstract
In this paper, a novel partitioning technique, based on the
Medial Axis Transform (MAT), will be discussed. The MAT
provides a skeleton of the original model, which can be used
to guide the subdivision of an object into a number of zones so
that the communication between different zones is minimised.
