This paper proposes a new simplification algorithm that simplifies reconstructed polygonal mesh from 3D point set considering an original point set. Previous method computes error using mesh information, but it makes to increase error of difference between an original and a simplified model by reason of implementation of simplification. Proposed method simplifies a reconstructed model using an original point data, we acquire a simplified model similar an original. We show several simplified results to demonstrate the usability of our methods.

A general approach to automatic generation of triangular meshes on three-dimensional surfaces is presented in this paper. The approach, developed with emphasis on program generality and interface with CAD/CAM systems, is based on the double mapping method and the looping method. The double mapping method is introduced and anew splitting scheme is proposed for the looping method employed for triangular mesh generation on the parametric domain. Several application examples are given.

In this paper a new cell sizing method is proposed. The new method calculates cell size at a point using given size control elements directly without the aid of background grid as other cell sizing algorithms do. The calculation method and related definitions are described in detail, and typical cell sizing results are given.

The mirror surface grinding of carbon fiber reinforced plastics(CFRP) was realized by using the metal bonded super-abrasive micro grain wheel with electrolytic in-process dressing(ELID). The maximum surface roughness $R_{max}$ of CFRP which was obtained with #6,000 wheel, was 0.65 $\mu{m}$, which was rougher surface finish compared to those of hard and brittle materials with the same mesh number wheel with ELID. The grinding performance was much dependent on the grinding direction and the best surface roughness was obtained at $90^{\circ}C$ grinding with fiber direction. The spark-out effect on the surface improvement was significant when smaller mesh number grinding wheels were used. From the surface observations of CFRP with scanning electron microscope(SEM) and Auger electron spectroscopy(AES), it was found that the mirror surface grinding of CFRP was generated by the homogenization due to carbonization of the ground surface and smearing of chips composed of the carbon fiber and carbonized epoxy resin into the ground surface.

The research on computer graphics(CG) has been actively studied and developed. Namely, many surface/solid models have been proposed in the field of computer aided geometric design as well as the one of CG. Since it is difficult to visualize the complex shape exactly, an approximation by generating a set of meshes is usually used. Therefore it is important to guarantee the quality of the approximation in consideration of the computational cost. In this paper, a mesh generation algorithm will be proposed for a surface defined by Lie algebra. The proposed algorithm considers the quality in the meaning of validation of invariants obtained by the mesh, using automatic differentiation.

The NURBS surfaces are widely employed for exchanging geometric models between different CAD/CAE systems. However if the input NURBS surfaces are poorly parameterized, most surface meshing algorithms may fail or the constructed meshes can be ill-conditioned. In this paper presents a new method is presented that can generate well conditioned meshes even on poorly parameterized NURBS surfaces by regenerating NURBS surfaces. To begin with, adequate points are sampled on original poorly parameterized surfaces and new surfaces are created by interpolating these points. And then, mesh generation is performed on new surfaces. With this method, models with poorly parameterized NURBS surfaces can be meshed successfully.

In this paper we propose a new type of splines-biquadratic submesh splines over hierarchical T-meshes. The biquadratic submesh splines are in rational form consisting of some biquadratic B-splines defined over tensor-product submeshes of a hierarchical T-mesh, where every submesh is around a cell in the crossing-vertex relationship graph of the T-mesh. We provide an effective algorithm to locate the valid tensor-product submeshes. A local refinement algorithm is presented and the application of submesh splines in surface fitting is provided.

This paper describes an automatic finite element(FE) mesh generation for three-dimensional structures consisting of free-form surfaces. This mesh generation process consists of three subprocesses: (a) definition of geometric model, i.e. analysis model, (b) generation of nodes, and (c) generation of elements. One of commercial solid modelers is employed for three-dimensional solid and shell structures. Node is generated if its distance from existing node points is similar to the node spacing function at the point. The node spacing function is well controlled by the fuzzy knowledge processing. The Delaunay method is introduced as a basic tool for element generation. Automatic generation of FE meshes for three-dimensional solid and shell structures holds great benefits for analyses. Practical performances of the present system are demonstrated through several mesh generations for three-dimensional complex geometry.

In the present study a semi-automatic mesh generation program has been developed by using DXF file containing contour line data. The program consists of DXF file reader and mapping algorithm. Pre-generated 2-D planar mesh points are to be mapped one by one onto triangular surface whose three vertices are three nearest contour points surrounding the mapping point. The present program has been successfully tested for mesh generations for the road tunnel ventilation analysis and analysis of lava movement in mountain area.
