Automatic three‐dimensional mesh generation by the finite octree technique

Shephard, Mark S., Georges, Marcel K.·1991·International Journal for Numerical Methods in Engineering

Abstract

An octree‐based fully automatic three‐dimensional mesh generator is presented. The mesh generator is capable of meshing non‐manifold models of arbitrary geometric complexity through the explicit tracking and enforcement of geometric compatibility and geometric similarity at each step of the meshing process. The resulting procedure demonstrates a linear growth rate with respect to the number of elements and can be easily integrated with any geometric modeller through a set of geometric operators.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
