HAL is a multi-disciplinary open access archive for the deposit and dissemination of scientific research documents, whether they are published or not. The documents may come from teaching and research institutions in France or abroad, or from public or private research centers. L'archive ouverte pluridisciplinaire HAL, est destinée au dépôt et à la diffusion de documents scientifiques de niveau recherche, publiés ou non, émanant des établissements d'enseignement et de recherche français ou étrangers, des laboratoires publics ou privés.
We present a method for direction field design on surface and volumetric meshes supporting non-orthogonality. Our approach is a generalization of the representation of 3D cross fields in spherical harmonic basis. As such it induces a geometrically meaningful measure of smoothness, allows orthogonality control by a simple parameter and enables orientation constraints of a single direction. To the best of our knowledge this is the first work to propose non-orthogonal 3D frame field design. We demonstrate the applicability of our method to generate anisotropic quadrangular and hexahedral meshes which are particularly useful for remeshing CAD models.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
