## Abstract Quadrilateral finite elements are generally constructed by starting from a given finite dimensional space of polynomials __Vฬ__ on the unit reference square __Kฬ__. The elements of __Vฬ__ are then transformed by using the bilinear isomorphisms __F__~__K__~ which map __Kฬ__ to each conve

The paper presents an automatic finite element remeshing system for quadrilateral elements consisting of modules for mesh generation, densification, smoothing and interpolation of field variables. The mesh generator takes into account the contour of the old mesh, eventual interference with dies and
An improved looping method for quadrilateral finite element generation, effective especially for automatic metal forming simulation, was presented in this paper. A new splitting criterion to improve the conventional looping method, an artificial boundary scheme to reduce mesh transition regions and
