The Quick Measure of a Nurbs Surface Curvature for Accurate Triangular Meshing
PublicationNURBS surfaces are the most widely used surfaces for three-dimensional models in CAD/CAE programs. As a model for FEM calculation is prepared with a CAD program it is inevitable to mesh it finally. There are many algorithms for meshing planar regions. Some of them may be used for meshing surfaces but it is necessary to take the curvature of the surface under consideration to avoid poor quality mesh. The mesh must be denser in the...
