Abstract
A system and method is provided that facilitates generating meshes for object models of structures for use with finite element analysis simulations carried out on the structure. The system may include at least one processor configured to classify a type of an input face of a three dimensional (3D) object model of a structure based at least in part on a number of loops included by the input face. The processor may also select based on the classified type of the input face a multi-block decomposition algorithm from among a plurality of multi-block decomposition algorithms that the processor is configured to use. Further the processor may use the selected multi-block decomposition algorithm to determine locations of a plurality of blocks across the input face. In addition the processor may mesh each block to produce mesh data defining a mesh that divides the input face into a plurality of quadrilateral elements.
