The MODULEF library proposes the following algorithms for three-dimensional meshes:
- methods corresponding to a manual approach,
- a transport-projection function (or algebraic method),
- a translation-stacking or extrusion technique (for topologically cylindrical domains),
- a finite difference type mesh generator (for topologically hexahedral domains),
- a multi-block method, and
- a surface mesh generator for certain configurations.
Module APNOP3, called directly, or via the preprocessor APN3XX, performs the following
functions:
- generates three-dimensional meshes, for simple cases, from the point and two-dimensional mesh data,
using the mesh algorithms. For complex domains, the mesh is generated by calling the appropriate modules
directly (see chapter 3);
- restores the NOPO data structures (or D.S.), containing the meshes created, in main memory
(in particular, using the methods described in chapter 3);
- modifies and combines these meshes to form new meshes, along with their corresponding D.S. NOPO,
which can be saved on sequential file.
