Meshing a periodic pattern of a physical structure in simulation
A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US12001760B2) discloses a method stored on a non-transitory machine-readable medium that enables a data processing system to generate complex mesh structures for physical structures with periodic patterns. The method involves creating radial cut lines from an axis of rotation, identifying a master region based on geometry intersections, and generating adaptive base meshes. The process includes partitioning the mesh into interior and fringe regions, rotating portions, and assembling them to create a matching boundary mesh representing the periodic pattern accurately.
Furthermore, the patent describes a method for generating non-planar boundaries within the mesh structure, allowing for more accurate representation of physical structures in simulations. The generated mesh can be duplicated to create conformal meshes, maintaining matching boundary conditions between patterns. The method also includes the exclusion of certain regions from being meshed and partitioning the mesh into multiple regions. By freezing boundary meshes and partitioning the mesh into different portions, the method ensures the creation of an arbitrary matching boundary mesh that accurately represents the geometry's repetitive patterns, enhancing the efficiency and accuracy of simulations and design processes for complex physical structures.
