Subdomain generation using emergent ant colony optimization

Finite elements mesh decomposition is a well known optimization problem and is used to split a computationally expensive finite elements mesh into smaller subdomains for parallel finite elements analysis.The ant colony optimization is a type of algorithm that seeks to model the emergent behaviour observed in ant colonies and utilize this behaviour to solve combinatorial problems. This technique has been applied to several problems, most of which are graph related because the ant colony metaphor can be most easily applied to such types of problems. This paper examines the application of ant colony optimization algorithm to the partitioning of unstructured adaptive meshes for parallel explicit time-stepping finite elements analysis.The concept of ant colony optimization technique in addition to the notion of swarm intelligence for finding approximate solutions to combinatorial optimization problems is described. This algorithm combines the features of the classical ant colony optimization technique with swarm intelligence to form a model which is an artificial system designed to perform a certain task.The application of the ant colony optimization for partitioning finite elements meshes based on triangular elements using the swarm intelligence concept is described. A recursive greedy algorithm optimization method is also presented as a local optimization technique to improve the quality of the solutions given by the ant colony optimization algorithm. The partitioning is based on the recursive bisection approach.The mesh partitioning is carried out using normal and predictive modes for which the predictive mode uses a trained multi-layered feedforward neural network that estimates the number of triangular elements that will be generated after finite elements mesh generation is carried out.The performance of the proposed hybrid approach for the recursive bisection of finite elements meshes is examined by decomposing two mesh examples and comparing them with a well known finite elements domain decomposer.     

Adaptive remeshing process with quadrangular finite elements

Since the quality of FEM analysis directly depends on the quality of meshes, various mesh adaptation schemes have been researched. There are two stages on adaptive finite element analysis; to derive error measure and to control meshes based on error measure. The former has been well researched among applied mathematicians. However, the importance of the latter aspect wasn't considered enough. Even if the error measures were well estimated, the total performance of mesh adaptation might be poor with a poor mesh control. This paper proposes an effective mesh control scheme for h-adaptation, or adaptive remeshing scheme with the explicit relation between interpolation theory based on error measure and desirable mesh size. Total mesh adaptation is controlled by introducing Quality Index, or the ratio between the total error norm and the total energy norm which represents the quality of the total meshes; specifying the desirable value of Quality Index, then the adaptive remeshing process can handle it and Quality Index is almost converged to the given value. Since the full automatic feature of the mesh generator is a prerequisite for adaptive remeshing, the author also discusses the algorithm of the quadrangular mesh generator for arbitrary domains. After evaluation on a linear problem, it's confirmed that the proposed mesh control scheme and the proposed error measure-mesh size relations are acceptable. The incompatible case for mesh adaptation is also discussed in this paper.     

Retiling scheme: a novel approach of direct anisotropic quad-dominant remeshing

Remeshing has been an active research topic in Digital Geometry Processing. In this paper, a novel approach of direct anisotropic quad-dominant remeshing is proposed. We apply the retiling method to the particular problem of quad-dominant remeshing. Compared with other methods, this method can simply partition the surface of an original triangular mesh into connected quads with the mesh edges aligning to the principal directions. The first step in this method is to estimate and smooth the curvature tensor field of the surface at the vertices, and then the quad-dominant mesh is obtained by retiling the quad surface so that quadrilateral edges are parallel to the local principal curvature directions. In addition, to preserve the sharp feature information during remeshing processes, the feature lines can be extracted using mesh segmentation method, and the intersections between the feature lines and the orthogonal planes can be found during the process of retiling. A feature fusion process is presented to join the feature edges and feature points into the quad-dominant mesh. The experiment results show that this new remeshing method is simple and easy to implement. The resolution of the quadrilateral mesh can be controlled during the remeshing. It is applicable to arbitrary genus meshes and can generate high-quality quad-dominant mesh.     

Adjacency for grid generation and grid adaptation in Delaunay triangulation

One of the characteristics of Delaunay method for mesh generation is its local remeshing ability. The main part of the process is to identify remeshing block out of the whole domain and to execute remeshing on the block. Adjacency, adjacent element array, is introduced with an accompanying algorithm to make the process so simple and versatile that it will be used in generating the initial mesh, in applying mesh adaptation, in mesh revision for moving boundary problems, and in transforming 3-node base mesh to 6-node mesh. These features are demonstrated in the example problems of heat conduction with point sink, crack propagation, and simple upsetting of a circular cylinder. Proposition is made to take utility array ‘adjacency’ as basic element data.     

Interactive Multiresolution Editing of Arbitrary Meshes

This paper presents a novel approach to multiresolution editing of a triangular mesh. The basic idea is to embed an editing area of a mesh onto a 2D rectangle and interpolate the user-specified editing information over the 2D rectangle. The result of the interpolation is mapped back to the editing area and then used to update the mesh. We adopt harmonic maps for the embedding and multilevel B-splines for the interpolation. The proposed mesh editing technique can handle an arbitrary mesh without any preprocessing such as remeshing. It runs fast enough to support interactive editing and produces intuitive editing results.     

A robust feature-preserving semi-regular remeshing method for?triangular meshes

Benefited from the hierarchical representations, 3D models generated by semi-regular remeshing algorithms based on either global parameterization or normal displacement have more advantages for digital geometry processing applications than the ones produced from traditional isotropic remeshing algorithms. Nevertheless, while original models have sharp features or multiple self-intersecting surfaces, it is still a challenge for previous algorithms to produce a semi-regular mesh with sharp features preservation as well as high mesh regularity. Therefore, this study proposes a robust semi-regular remeshing algorithm that uses a two-step surface segmentation scheme to build the high quality base mesh, as well as the regional relationship between the original surface and subdivision domain surface. Using the regional relationship, the proposed algorithm substantially enhances the accuracy and robustness of the backward projection process of subdivision vertices based on normal displacement. Furthermore, the mesh regularity of remeshed models is improved by the quadric mesh relaxation scheme. The experimental results demonstrate the capabilities of the proposed algorithm’s semi-regular remeshing to preserve geometric features and have good triangle aspect ratio.
