Abstract: A technique for conforming an interface between a first mesh and a second
mesh is disclosed. A first interface surface in the first mesh and a
second interface surface in the second mesh residing along the interface
are identified. The first and second interface surfaces are initially
non-conforming along the interface. Chords within the first and second
interface surfaces that fall within a threshold separation distance of
each other are paired. Sheets having chords that reside within the first
or second interface surfaces are recursively inserted into or extracted
from one or both of the first and second meshes until all remaining
chords within the first interface surface are paired with corresponding
chords in the second interface surface and all remaining chords within
the second interface surface are paired with corresponding chords in the
first interface surface. |
