Adaptive Finite Element Techniques for Automated Three-Dim- ensional Engineering Analysis and Design

这项研究的最终目标是使工程师能够在按下按钮的情况下以指定的精度级别完整地分析问题。在走向自动化有限元分析的过程中，有必要将对象的几何形状细分为有效的有限元网格。这项工作将：(1)通过称为八叉树的实体建模表示法来研究高效的自适应三维网格控制设备，以及(2)提供误差估计。

The ultimate goal of this research is to enable an engineer to completely analyze problems to a prescribed level of accuracy at the push of a button. In moving towards automated finite element analysis, it is necessary to subdivide the geometry of an object into a valid finite element mesh. This effort will: (1) investigate efficient adaptive, three-dimensional mesh control devices via a solid modelling representation known as an octree, and (2) provide error estimates.
