Abstract

In the current state of CFD technology, the obstacle to true automation of the grid generation stage is related to defects in the CAD data. Some of these defects are described, as are the approaches we are using to automate them. In contrast to virtually all existing gridding procedures, which are based on triangular and tetrahedral cells, the interest in this paper is on rectangular and hexahedral cells. The latter are more “pleasing to the eye” and may have other computational advantages. The repair techniques used borrow some ideas from Reverse Engineering and are designed to accept range image data from 3D digitizers.
