Abstract

TetGen is a C++ program for generating quality tetrahedral meshes aimed to support numerical methods and scientific computing. It is also a research project for studying the underlying mathematical problems and evaluating algorithms. This paper presents the essential meshing components developed in TetGen for robust and efficient software implementation. And it highlights the state-of-the-art algorithms and technologies currently implemented and developed in TetGen for automatic quality tetrahedral mesh generation.
