Quadrangle: Mapping meshing algorithm
|
|
*************************************
|
|
|
|
**Quadrangle: Mapping** meshing algorithm is intended for creating
|
|
all-quadrangle and quad-dominant meshes on faces without holes and
|
|
bound by at least three edges.
|
|
|
|
The algorithm can create mesh on any face but its quality and
|
|
validity depend on two factors:
|
|
|
|
* face shape (number of edges and boundary concavity);
|
|
* discretization of edges.

|
"Invalid mesh on quadrilateral concave faces"
|
|
|
|
The algorithm uses *Transfinite Interpolation* technique in the
|
|
parametric space of a face to locate nodes inside the face.
|
|
|
|
The algorithm treats any face as quadrangle. If a face is bound by
|
|
more than four edges, four most sharp vertices are considered as
|
|
corners of the quadrangle and all edges between these vertices are
|
|
treated as quadrangle sides. In the case of three edges, the vertex
|
|
specified by the user is considered as a fourth degenerated side of the
|
|
quadrangle.

Algorithm generates a structured mesh on complex faces provided that edges are properly discretized
|
|
|
|
To get an all-quadrangle mesh you have to carefully define 1D
|
|
hypotheses on edges of a face. To get a **structured** mesh you have to provide
|
|
equal number of segments on opposite sides of the quadrangle. If this
|
|
condition is not respected, the algorithm by default (without a
|
|
hypothesis) creates a **quad-dominant** mesh with triangles located near the
|
|
side with the maximal number of segments. However, you can get an
|
|
**all-quadrangle** mesh in this case by using
|
|
:ref:`hypo_quad_params_anchor` hypothesis to specify how to make transition mesh between opposite
|
|
sides with different number of segments, provided that certain
|
|
conditions are respected. In any case the total number of segments must be
|
|
even. To use *Reduced* transition method, there must be an equal number
|
|
of segments on one pair of opposite sides.
|
|
|
|
The following hypotheses help to create quadrangle meshes.
|
|
|
|
* :ref:`Propagation <propagation_anchor>` additional 1D hypotheses help to get an equal number of segments on the opposite sides of a quadrilateral face.
|
|
* :ref:`Composite Side Discretization <a1d_algos_anchor>` algorithm is useful to discretize several C1 continuous edges as one quadrangle side.
