3D tetrahedral, unstructured and anisotropic mesh generation with adaptation to natural and multidomain metric

In this paper we present a 3D tetrahedral, unstructured and anisotropic mesh generator that is not based on the Delaunay, frontal or octree method. Instead, it proceeds by local optimizations and uses an anisotropic shape criterion to fit a metric field.Then, we introduce a new 3D metric field that tightens the mesh around interfaces when the calculation domain is divided in several subdomains, and a 3D metric field that places enough elements through each subdomain thickness, without introducing too many nodes in the other directions.Finally, we show some applications for material forming geometries.
