Invited Speaker

5th International Meshing Roundtable

``Give me a good mesh''

David Field

General Motors Research and Development Center

After much thought the title of my talk should be ``Give me a good mesh''. The following abstract should clarify the title.

This presentation addresses often asked questions that surround the mesh generation process. Answers to questions like the one in the title can involve numerical quantities that measure the shape of elements, descriptions of processes used to improve initial meshes and constraints on the density of elements. This talk aims to provide substantive material to politely but authoritatively respond to more provocative questions like ``Is this mesh any good?''

Perhaps the web will provide a forum for some dialogue that can be included or influence the talk.
