Abstract
In this paper an automatic procedure for finite element
analysis of two-dimensional linear elastic structures is
presented. This feedback procedure involves geometric
modelling, automatic mesh generation, estimation of
discretization errors, detection of regions of high stress
gradients, estimation of error convergence rates, mesh
optimization, and mesh refinement. A strategy is
implemented for selecting intermediate meshes in cases of
height accuracy requirements. The final meshes are optimal
in the sense that the requirements are fulfilled with
minimum computational efforts. Some additional mesh
optimality criteria are also considered so as to meet
specific local criteria. Three numerical examples are
presented to show the different aspects and the efficiency
of the procedure.
