Examples created by bubble mesh |
This image is a result of computational simulation of
a stamping process (by using Amada Metrecs AITAS 3D) .
This result is obtained by using the Finite Element Method (FEM)
with
a mesh generated by the bubble mesh method
on a square, which represents a planer steel. Such computational simulations with finite element method are also used for the analysis of strength, vibration, crash of industrial products.
The bubble mesh method can be applied not only for planer steels,
but also for more complex industrial products.
This image is an example of triangular mesh on all boundary
of a product by using the bubble mesh method.
VRML file of the mesh
is also prepared.
The bubble mesh method represents not only planar objects
but also curved objects.
This image shows an example of a curved surface mesh
of a wireframe model, which the boundary data is only given.
The mesh is generated on a virtual curved surface (so called
energy-minimized surface) because this model does not include
the curvature equations.
The bubble mesh is applied not only for computational simulation
but computer graphics.
This image is generated by using the radiosity method
with
a mesh generated by the bubble mesh method .
This animation image represents a rubber floor,
which is deformed by the fall of an object.
Such physical phenomena are easily represented by
using mesh.
The abovementioned meshes are so called two-dimentional mesh
which have triangular or quadrilateral elements on surfaces.
On the other hand, this image shows a three-dimentional mesh
which have tetrahedral elements inside a space.
This project has not developed such three-dimentional mesh,
but we think it is our most important future work. |
