Method
-
initial point seeding. These are the background points to
- start the triangulation from (a subset)
- do cellsize and alignment queries on
- mesh movement based on cell size and alignment
- surface conformation by introducing duplicate points
- do final simplification by face filtering
Typical work flow
- clean surfaces (surfaceClean, surfaceOrient)
-
set in system/controlDict
- startTime to latestTime
- endTime to number of meshing iterations
- writeInterval to large value
- select defaultCellSize [m]
- select refinement patterns based on e.g. surface (cellSizeControlGeometry)
- select autoDensity initial point seeding
- force output of unfiltered mesh (to save time) by specifying unobtainable mesh quality: continueFilteringOnBadInitialPolyMesh false; maxNonOrtho 1;
-
check visually
- features resolved?
- cell size ok? Load in targetCellSize volScalarField.
-
if any surface protusions that are unacceptable
- lower targetCellSize
- lower maxSurfaceProtrusionCoeff (usually 0.1 of targetCellSize)
- restart. Repeat until surface good enough.
-
produce final mesh
- set initialPointsMethod to pointFile so it reuses the Delaunay vertices
- re-enable mesh filtering continueFilteringOnBadInitialPolyMesh true; maxNonOrtho 65; //or whatever;
Debugging
- run surfaceFeatureExtract with -writeObj to dump all features
- set initialPointsMethod to pointFile
- set writeInterval to 1
- run e.g. topoSet to create slices

Conforming to feature points
Inserted 32 feature vertices
In this particular case there are 8 straight corners so these can be recreated with a triplet each.

The initial points get created by the autoDensity method. It will accept only
part (75% in this cae) of the initial points to create randomly distributed locations.

Build coarse surface conformation
Initial conformation
Number of vertices 6962
Number of surface hits 2245
Number of edge hits 238
The initial points get inserted into the triangulation and it detects the number of surface pierces (surface hits) and the number of XXX (edge hits).
Stopping iterations when:
total number of hits drops below 0.001 of initial hits (2)
or
maximum number of iterations (15) is reached
It will introduce additional duplicate vertices on either side of the surface pierce to conform to the geometry. This needs to repeated until the number of pierces is low enough.
