RulesJoachim SchoberlAbstractIn this paper, the algorithms of the automatic mesh generator NETGEN are described.The domain is provided by a Constructive Solid Geometry (CSG). The whole task of3D mesh generation splits into four subproblems of special point calculation, edgefollowing, surface meshing and finally volume mesh generation. Surface and volumemesh generation are based on the advancing front method. Emphasis is given tothe abstract structure of the element generation...
