Abstract

This paper describes how an automatic meshing scheme, which incorporates beam stiffeners has been carried out. The scheme uses quadrilateral finite elements to produce optimal meshes with minimal user intervention. The initial data input requires a description of the surface, an initial mesh density and an estimate of the acceptable error in the required output. A description of the boundary definition, boundary element generation, element smoothing and graded mesh generation requirements is also given.
