An automatic remeshing scheme has been developed to enable finite element simulation of even complicated forming processes. It has been demonstrated that for many practical applications the incorporation of this technique in the existing computer codes is indispensable not only for more accurate sol

✦ Synopsis
Three-dimensional finite element simulation of electron beam welding of a large copper canister has been performed. The use of an automatic remeshing algorithm, based on a graded hexahedral element was found to be effective. With this algorithm the strongly nonlinear thermomechanical effects locally close to the moving heat source can accurately be modelled using a dense element mesh that follows the heat source.

An approach to full automation of the remeshing procedure in the finite element simulation of a non-steady metal forming process is presented. The approach is based on a new automatic mesh generation scheme, in which a two-dimensional mesh is generated for an arbitrary domain with the aid of a presp
