摘要
Finite-element (FE) accuracy can be directly affected by mesh quality. The potential benefits and related costs of a family of new mesh quality improvement systems are investigated using a suite of electromagnetic benchmarks and mesh quality measures theoretically linked to FE accuracy. Experimental findings suggest error reductions on the order of 10% for half-second runtimes.
