Fast Point and Element Search Method in Adaptive Remeshing Procedure and Its Applications

الملخص EN

The FPES (fast point and element search) method is a useful and efficient strategy for node field transfer from old mesh to the new mesh in adaptive remeshing procedure.

The FE mesh after adaptive remeshing with various error estimates will be refined at local region, and the mesh after adaptive remeshing has the heterogeneous density distribution.

The FPES has the capacity to define the nearest search path adapting to the mesh with heterogeneous density distribution.

It is a point location process which includes point searching, point location in element, and weight factor distribution.

This strategy has been integrated to our finite element adaptive remeshing simulations, and it works well and rapidly.

The three-dimension finite element numerical simulation of simply tensile test, orthogonal cutting, and metal milling process is given out to study its accuracy and efficiency.
