An interactive mesh generation environment for geometry-based simulations. Progress updated

Abstract

We presented an overview of an interactive mesh generation environment in our previous work that it is being developed in the Laboratori de Càlcul Numèric (LaCàN). We started the development of the software in order to unify available legacy code, new developments and research algorithms in only one mesh generation package. This paper presents an update to the last environment overview after significant implementation and conceptual development. We provide a brief summary of: New features, as submapping and data output suitable for geometry-based methods as; current developments, as GUI improvement and 3D modelling tools; and future features, such as the command interpreter. Finally, we conclude that chosen mesh generation paradigm and software engineering concepts have allowed us to improve and scale the environment since last revision.
