Abstract
A cutting point calculation step defines the cell complex that contains the boundary data, and calculating a cutting point where the boundary data cuts an edge or vertex of the rectangular parallelepiped cell of the cell complex. A cycle formation step classifies the rectangular parallelepiped cells into a boundary cell having the cutting point and a nonboundary cell having no cutting point, acquiring a cutting segment between a cell surface and boundary data for each boundary cell, and forming a cutting segment cycle closed by connecting the cutting points and the cutting segments alternately in sequence. A cycle internal division step divides the inside of the cutting segment cycle into cycle inner triangles sharing an adjacent side, for each boundary cell. A simplification step of unifying a plurality of cutting points on each edge, and registering the cycle inner triangles in the cell, for each boundary cell.
