Abstract:A new conforming hybrid mesh generation method is proposed and applied to generate mesh for three-dimensional solids with open-ended tubular holes. A pyramidal element generation method is presented to solve the non-conforming problem. The procedure consists of five steps. At first, surfaces of tubular holes are recognized and discretized. Secondly, the regions around the tubular holes are presented by hexahedral elements. Then, the surface triangular mesh is generated. After that, the pyramid elements are con… Show more
