Title
The Graft Tool: An All-Hexahedral Transition Algorithm for Creating a Multi-Directional Swept Volume Mesh
Abstract
Sweeping algorithms have become very mature and can create a semi-structured mesh on a large set of so lids. However, these algorithms require that all linking surfaces be map pable or submappable. This restriction excludes so lids with imprints or protrusions on the linking surfaces. The grafting algorithm allows these solids to be swept. It then locally modifies the position and connectivity of the nodes on the linking surfac es to align with the graft surfaces. Once a high-q uality surface mesh is formed on the graft surface, it is swept along the branch creating a 2æ-D mesh.
