Automatic grid generation is very important in industrial applications. Furthermore, in several applications discretization grids are needed which provide an anisotropic refinement and an accurate approximation of the derivatives of the solution. These requirements are fulfilled by semi‐unstructured grids. In this paper, we report how semi‐unstructured grids are used in the laser simulation program LASCAD [3].
