Hessian 2D remeshing

Author: Vicente Mataix Ferrándiz

Kratos version: 7.1

Source files: Hessian 2D

Case Specification

In this test case,

The following applications of Kratos are used:

• MeshingApplication with the MMG module

The problem corresponds with the example proposed in reference. The objective is to remesh the following structured mesh of a domain 1x1:

Where the size of the elements is very small and the distribution of the elements is not the optimal to represent the following test function:

The challenge consists in using the Hessian function of the test function as error measure and adapt the mesh in a proper manner.

Results

The results obtained after remeshing can be see in the following figures:

The color map of the test function:

The variation of the element size:
