Abstract
Issues related to curvilinear mesh generation starting from a CAD model are
addressed. Curvilinear mesh geometry representation in the context of p-version
finite elements and its impact on the validity of curvilinear meshes is
discussed. A set of meshing tools is described for generation and modification
of curved meshes in three-dimensional space. An iterative algorithm for curved
meshing of existing straight-edged meshes is described and example curvilinear
meshes of complex geometric models are presented
