The resolution of most physical problems is based on the finite element method, which utilizes a mesh upon which the physical equations are formulated. Indeed, the mesh quality is a fundamental aspect that determines the quality of the numerical results.
- Having basic knowledge of finite elements: shape functions and geometric elements.
- Knowing how to geometrically model curves and surfaces: 2D models, surface 3D, and volumetric 3D.
- Understanding generalities about meshing: Triangulation versus Meshing, Meshing and Finite Elements, Error Estimator, Mesh Adaptation.
- Mastering classical methods of mesh generation: Planar, Surface, Volume.
- Understanding the role of meshing in scientific computing: applications in solid and fluid mechanics, and other disciplines of numerical analysis
