This paper presents current trends and issues in mesh processing technology. Although automated meshing generation methods in two and three dimensions have been studied intensively, many analysis engineers still craft meshes manually for a certain class of analysis problems. In order to realize fully automated mesh generation, two technical issues need to be addressed : (1) automated mesh generators should be able to control anisotropy and directionality of a mesh, and (2) geometric operations required prior to mesh generation should be made more robust and automated. In this paper, recent development of the two technical issues is reviewed in order to encourage further research and development of advanced mesh processing technology.
