Abstract

In this paper, we introduce a new 3D hex mesh visual analysis system that emphasizes poor-quality areas with an aggregated glyph, highlights overlapping elements, and provides detailed boundary error inspection in three forms. By supporting multi-level analysis through multiple views, our system effectively evaluates various mesh models and compares the performance of mesh generation and optimization algorithms for hexahedral meshes.
