[MOAB-dev] SCDMesh for meshing IGES geometry

[Rajeev Jain]

Hi Greg,

Thanks for the inquiry. You are right, SCDMesh algorithm in MeshKit was developed to do this sort of task. 

It usesScdInterface (http://www.mcs.anl.gov/~fathom/moab-docs/html/contents.html#representation) defined in MOAB.
The meshing task you describe is covered in this test in MeshKit:

For SCDMesh algorithm details see: http://www.mcs.anl.gov/~fathom/meshkit-docs/html/algorithm_scdmesh.html

Hi Rajeev,
 
I came across MeshKit today, and it looks like you have made the most recent commits.  I’ve reviewed the 2011 CS&E presentation, and so far as I can tell, the SCDMesh component inside MeshKit might do what I want it to do.  Namely, I’d like to take geometry data (in IGES format, for example), and generate a Cartesian mesh structure that can be input into one of our solvers.  Our solver requires a structured, Cartesian grid, but it cannot accommodate embedded boundaries.
 
Can MeshKit do this?  
 
Thanks,
