ABSTRACT:
A finite element mesh generating method generates triangular meshes used in finite element method analysis. This finite element mesh generating method includes the steps of (a) inputting orthogonal meshes used in finite difference method and mesh joining conditions, (b) setting flags indicating candidates of lattice points which are to be deleted out of lattice points of the orthogonal meshes, based on the orthogonal meshes, (c) reducing a number of meshes by joining the lattice points having the set flag and lattice points adjacent thereto, based on the mesh joining conditions, and (d) successively generating triangular meshes by searching nodes formed by lattice points remaining on the meshes after joining the lattice points and generating oblique sides of rectangles which are formed by connecting the nodes.
