Summary
A parallel version of an indirect approach for meshing composite surfaces - also
called multiface models - is recalled. In practice, however, this methodology may be
inefficient because the memory management of most existing Computer Aided
Design (CAD) systems uses caches to save information. Two solutions are presented, referred
to as the Pirate approach and the Discrete approach. In the first approach, the Pirate
library can be efficiently called in parallel since no caching is used for the storage or
evaluation of geometric primitives. In the second approach, the CAD environment is
replaced by internal procedures interpolating a discrete geometric support. In both
cases, performance measurements are presented and show significant gains.
