Abstract :
Different approaches for the mesh generation of 3-D domains are reviewed. A novel method is introduced which can be seen as a variant of Delaunay-Voronoi tesselation coupled with control of the given boundary used to define the domain to be meshed. Special consideration is given to an algorithm for the treatment of the specified boundaries and a process for the creation of internal points to obtain good shape elements. The method was validated by tests on several applications
