This paper describes a new automated mesh generation method named Intelligent Local Approach (ILA), which well controls both size and aspect ratio of quadrilateral element in a two-dimensional plane. The ILA can be straightforwardly extended to hexahedral elements in a three-dimensional solid. Here elements are created sequentially, considering local information on geometrical constraints and user's demand on quality of elements. A user can specify the following two numerical fields, (a) a field of element size and (b) that of element aspect ratio. A field of priority of element creation is also specified within the ILA. To efficiently deal with various complicated geometrical constraints for high quality quadrilateral elements, a fuzzy knowledge processing technique is effectively utilized. The ILA is implemented using an object-oriented technique. Fundamental performances of the ILA are demonstrated in detail through generating several quadrilateral meshes.
