We developed technique for automatically generating a hexahedral mesh of a complex solid model. This technique can automatically convert a solid model to a feature shape model that consists of the feature lines necessary for generating hexahedral mesh. We have thus automated the interactive operations (such as model editing) that are carried out as a pretreatment for hexahedral mesh generation, and significantly shortened the time taken for these interactive operations. Furthermore, in this research, the feature model generation process was improved to generate meshes for multi-volume models. As a result, we confirmed that the process could be used to generate a hexahedral mesh with a consecutive pattern on the common faces between parts.
