Description

This book provides a comprehensive survey of the different algorithms and data structures useful for triangulation and mesh construction. Additionally, specific important topics are given detailed coverage, such as mesh modification tools, mesh evaluation criteria, mesh optimization, adaptive mesh construction and parallel meshing techniques.
This new edition has been comprehensively updated and also includes a new chapter on mobile or deformable meshes.
