The applied track of the Sixteenth
Annual ACM Symposium on Computation Geometry (June 2000) is
soliciting papers in the area of meshing. Papers are due 6 December,
1999.
Dear meshing researcher,
The intent of this newsletter is to spread information on mesh generation:
1. New book: Handbook of Grid Generation
2. New book: Delaunay Triangulation and meshing
3. International Society on Grid Generation
4. New public domain mesh generator: MegaCads
5. CFD General notation system
6. Mesh generation Listserv
7. Upcoming conferences
You can find more information at

1. New book: Handbook of Grid Generation
Eds. Joe Thompson, Bharat Soni and Nigel Weatherhill
CRC Press, ISBN 0-8493-2687-7
http://www.crcpress.com/catalog/2687.htm
This is a 1000+ pages volume with contributions from 55 researchers
that
presents the state of the art in structured and unstructured grid
generation.
A software survey is inluded.
2. New book: Delaunay Triangulation and meshing
Paul-Louis George, Houman Borouchaki
Edition Hermes
http://www.editions-hermes.fr/692-0.htm
A detailed description of the results of more than 10 years
of meshing research
at INRIA. Treats constrained and unconstrained Delaunay triangulations
in
2D and 3D, with special regard paid to unisotropic meshing.
A new society, founded by Joe F. Thompson et al. at Mississippi
state. An
effort to foster research and cooperation and distribution of
knowledge in
grid generation. A membership drive is currently under way. Check
their website
at http://www.erc.msstate.edu/isgg/.
MegaCads is a 3D multiblock interactive system for the generation
of
structured grids, developed in the German MEGAFLOW project. Allows
for
elliptic and biharmonic smoothing of grids. Comes with a graphical
user
interface and an IGES converter. Detailed information can be found
at:
http://beasgi2.ea.bs.dlr.de/megacads/
An effort to establish a standard for the exchange of CFD data,
supported by
several US companies and government institutions. An implementation
of the
API can be found at http://www.cgns.org/.
A new mailing list, setup by Steve Owen as part of the Meshing Research Corner:
http://www.andrew.cmu.edu/user/sowen/meshlist.html
It is intended to be a forum for discussion on what is currently
being done
in the field of mesh generation.

on
Computational Mechanics): http://www.andrew.cmu.edu/user/sowen/usccm99/

ALSO CHECK OUT THE MESHING RESEARCH CORNER:
http://www.andrew.cmu.edu/user/sowen/mesh.html
The Research Corner includes: Keywords, New, Recent Conferences, Topics, Authors, Tips, Links, Jobs, Software, and Listserv
The Research Corner webpage is an attempt at compiling some of
the current literature available on the subject of unstructured
mesh generation. Currently more than 600 journal articles are
referenced. Abstracts are sited for most of the references. Complete
papers are available for the past four years of the International
Meshing Roundtable. Maintained by Steve Owen, Ansys, Inc.
