“Multi-Material Adaptive Volume Remesher” Noura Faraj, Jean-marc Thiery and Tamy Boubekeur – Telecom ParisTech – We propose a practical iterative remeshing algorithm for multi-material tetrahedral meshes which is solely based on simple local topological operations, such as edge collapse, flip, split and vertex smoothing. To do …
