Mechanical piece remeshing

In this section, surface mesh remeshing is illustrated through several examples and option usage. The file linkrods.mesh is used as input mesh. It is displayed below.

Initial mesh of a connecting rod

Boundary approximation

The quality of the surface approximation may be controlled using -hausd option:

mmgs_O3 linkrods.mesh -hausd 0.01
mmgs_O3 linkrods.mesh -hausd 0.001

The output meshes for these two commands are displayed below. The smaller the Hausdorff distance, the better the boundary approximation.

Output mesh for a Hausdorff parameter of 0.01

Output mesh for a Hausdorff parameter of 0.001

Maximal edge size

Edge size may be bounded using options -hmin and -hmax:

mmgs_O3 linkrods.mesh -hmax 0.05

Output mesh is displayed below:

Output mesh with maximal edge size set to 0.05
