Abstract
Using frontal method, the SYSMESH 3D mesh generation algorithm offers an original form of front management for the solution of convergence and quality problems. The method involves privileging the faces of the front, resulting in the creation of enhanced quality elements. Each face is assigned to a front corresponding to the best tetrahedron which can be created. The problems of perfomance and reliability inherent in this type of method are overcome by the use of dedicated data structures. SYSMESH also has a user-friendly interface based on MOTIF.
