Practical and reliable mesh generation for complex, real-world geometries

The following paper examines the key aspects of technology that deliver an advanced hybrid meshing capability that is operational today, and is ideally suited to complex, real-world geometries. The paper shows how particular benefits are derived from detailed algorithmic features at octree level, from the overall meshing procedure and from the software's client-server architecture and its distributed-memory parallel implementation. Two two complex geometry examples are used to demonstrate the benefits in terms of complex geometry capability, of ability to modify geometry and of and ease-of-use.
