The aim of the method proposed here is to show the possibility of generating adaptive
surface meshes suitable for the finite element method, directly from an approximated
boundary representation of an object created with CAD software. First, we describe the
boundary representation, which is composed of a simple triangulation of the surface of the
object. Then we will show how to obtain a conforming size-adapted mesh. The size
adaptation is made considering geometrical approximation and with respect to an isotropic …
