Abstract
A new technique for generating structured and unstructured meshes in triangular and quadrilateral domains with arbitrary discretization of their boundaxy is presented. The method generates the mesh starting from the division of 3 or 4 lines (straight or curved) defining the boundary. The elements used in the mesh generation can be triangles, both triangles and quadrilaterals and, in some cases, quadrilaterals. The main advantages of this method are the high speed in mesh generation and the quality of the final mesh. Moreover, complex geometries can be meshed by means of a multiblock approach.
