ABSTRACT:
A mesh generating method and a mesh generating apparatus are for automating the division of a space necessary in a numerical analysis. Firstly, a three-dimensional configuration of an object is formed by three-dimensional run-length data in a first graphic processing device, and the run-length data is stored in a run-length data storing device. In a second graphic processing device, the run-length data is sequentially read out from the storing device, calculations of the run-length data is performed, sectional configuration data is generated, and the sectional configuration data is stored in a device for storing the sectional configuration data. In third graphic processing device, the sectional configuration data is sequentially read out from the device for storing the sectional configuration data, calculations of the sectional configuration data is performed, at least one of data of an area of a section, center of gravity thereof, and number of boundary lines thereof each indicating characteristic of sectional configuration of the section is generated, and the generated data is stored in a device for storing the data indicating the characteristic of the sectional configuration. In a fourth graphic processing device, the data indicating the characteristic of the sectional configuration is sequentially read out from the device for storing the data indicating the characteristic of the sectional configuration, calculations of the data is performed, mesh plane data is generated, and the mesh plane data is stored in a mesh data storing device.
