Description:
In numerical modeling tasks that use surface meshes, remeshing is often required. However, while remeshing, distortion can occur. The accumulation of distortions can lead to the collapse of the solution. Smoothing algorithms are used to maintain the quality of the mesh during the calculation. When performing smoothing using methods that shift the mesh nodes, the border nodes are usually fixed to avoid distortion. However, simply fixing the nodes can lead to more severe distortion. This paper presents methods for working with boundary nodes to control such nodes during the smoothing process. Algorithms for working with pseudo-3D surface meshes, which are of particular interest, are also considered.
