Abstract
We discuss enhancing the generalsty of 2-D unstructured mesh programming by
isolating some geometric dependencies so that they can be easily changed. The
specific task discussed is quality mesh generation for a 2-D manibid by local
refinement with Delaunay insertion. The geometric dependencies that we wish to
isolate are its embedded global coordinate system, including its dimension
(planar or surface meshing), and its metric, (cureilinear coordinate systems,
anisotropic meshing). We discuss object oriented techniques and a coordinate
system local to the mesh triangles to enhance isolating these geometric
features.
