STL Triangular Mesh Generation Based on SAT Model

Mesh generation is a fundamental technique in multiple domains. In this study, a STL triangular mesh generation method based on SAT model is proposed. Two novel triangulation methods, the constrained Delaunay algorithm and the grid subtraction algorithm, are employed on the multi-loop planer regions and the curved surfaces respectively. For the use of node adjustment, the mesh nodes on the surface boundary are strictly matched, with no cracks created on the joint of model surfaces. Experiments show that the proposed solution works effectively and high quality of the mesh model is achieved.
