In computer aided engineering analysis, it is necessary to convert CAD models into solid meshes to provide solvers for computation. Compared to traditional tetrahedral meshes, hexahedral meshes are considered the best type. However, the manual construction process is long and laborious, and it is difficult to ensure consistency. Before constructing hexahedral meshes, it is necessary to generate quadrilateral surface meshes. Therefore, our laboratory is developing an automatic construction technique for quadrilateral meshes, but there are still some problems and room for improvement in this technique. Mesh intersection is a major challenge in automatically constructing quadrilateral meshes, which can lead to mesh generation failure or even program crashes. This study designed detection and processing methods for various possible intersection situations to ensure that meshes are generated correctly. Additionally, this study developed a set of quality calculation methods, including minimum angle, aspect ratio, edge ratio, and Parallel Deviation. This method evaluate the overall mesh quality and allow users to detect and improve poor-quality meshes. This study tested the construction technique′s parameters using the above methods, comparing the mesh quality after construction with different parameters to obtain the optimal parameters. Furthermore, this study also improved the quality of the constructed meshes through various methods. Among the six test cases, the minimum angle and the average of the worst 1% angle showed significant improvements. The minimum angle increased by at least 30.73 degrees, and the average of the worst 1% angle improved by 89.7% to 140.8%, depending on the cases, proving that this study can effectively enhance the overall mesh quality. |
