Remesh[mesh]

remesh a mesh region mesh by removing low-quality cells and keeping the overall shape.

Details

  • Remesh is also known as remeshing.
  • Remesh is typically used to improve mesh quality by removing low-quality cells while preserving its overall shape, improving rendering, processing and analysis.
  • Remesh[mesh] returns a triangulated mesh region obtained without low-quality triangles.
  • Remesh takes the same options as MeshRegion, with the following additions:
  • Method Automaticmethod to use
  • Possible method settings include "Adaptive" and "Uniform".

Options  (8)

Method  (8)

"Adaptive"  (5)

Creates an adaptive mesh with varying element size depending on the local curvature of the input mesh:

Use the option "MinEdgeLength"->l to specify the minimum edge length:

Use the option "MaxEdgeLength"->l to specify the maximum edge length:

Use the option "MaxIterations"->n to specify the maximum number of iterations:

Use the option "Tolerance"->n to specify the maximum approximation error:

"Uniform"  (3)

Creates a uniform (isotropic) triangulation with a given uniform target edge length:

Use the option "EdgeLength"->l to specify the target edge length:

Use the option "MaxIterations"->n to specify the maximum number of iterations:

Applications  (1)

Adaptive mesh refinement for surface smoothing:

Remesh mesh to increase resolution before smoothing:
