A technique for automatically generating a hexahedral mesh of a complex solid model was developed. This technique can automate the interactive operations (such as model editing) that are carried out as a pretreatment for hexahedral-mesh generation. Consequently, the time taken by these interactive operations was significantly shortened, and high-speed generation of a hexahedral mesh was thus possible. Furthermore, the developed technique was applied to the generation of a hexahedral mesh of an engine-block model. And it was confirmed that the mesh generation time is shortened to one tenth of that for the conventional method.
