Abstract

An algorithm for constructing non-structured quadrangle meshes (Q-Morph Modification - QMM) is proposed. Modification includes construction of fully quadrangle meshes regardless of the initial number of front edges, construction of domains under different constraints, elaboration of a new procedure for recovering cell convexity, and integration of the approaches for topology and shape optimization of cells. A new version of Schneider's refinement algorithm for unstructured meshes combined with the topological clean-up package of the QMM method is developed.
