Title: Automated procedures for Boolean operations on finite element meshes
Abstract: Develops a method which performs Boolean operations on two unstructured arbitrary meshes. Deletes the overlapping or interfering elements of two individual meshes and creates a mesh of tetrahedral elements in their place to provide an interface between the remnants of the original meshes. Gives various examples where two volume meshes are joined or where a surface mesh is imposed on a volume mesh. Shows, through these examples, the effects of various input parameters on the quality of the final mesh.
