Abstract

The project considers the modification of the automatic generator of triangular meshes ("Automatic Generator of Triangular Meshes", developed for Rodrigo Cuberos Vieira, supported by a scholarship from Fapesp) based in the advancing-front mesh generation method , for any planar domain, introducing an modification in the algorithm that allows to get more homogeneous meshes and the regularization of the same using of the redefinition of nodes, producing meshes of better quality. The Pascal (Delphi) language is chosen for the graphical representation and searching better interaction with the user.
