Summary
This paper summarizes two approaches to automatically create quadtree meshes for the dynamic analysis of structures and soil-structure systems based on graphical information. It shows how the scaled boundary finite element method can be used to facilitate the dynamic analysis on such highly structured meshes without encountering the ubiquitous hanging node problem. The coupling with a unit-impulse-response-based formulation of the scaled boundary finite element method for unbounded domains is also described. Three examples are presented to illustrate the potential of the proposed approach.
