ABSTRACT:
Undesirable Steiner points in tetrahedralized meshes may be minimized by tetrahedralization processes that order element subdivision based on degree of freedom data for elements in the mesh and/or treat element degree of freedom as non-static during element subdivision. Applying look-ahead, breadth-first-search subdivision, and other strategic subdivision techniques further minimizes the need for Steiner points.
