Learning Objectives We continue our treatment of meshes, and discuss situations in architectural practice where structured and unstructured meshes play a significant role. We introduce the key property of the Delaunay triangulation and algorithms which center on achieving this property through iteration (Bowyer-Watson and Lawson). An implementation of a Delaunay triangulation will focus on how to build supporting classes.
Agenda
  • Situations in which meshes play a role
