Vorpaline is an automatic surfacic and volumetric mesh generation software, distributed with a commercial license. Vorpaline is based on the main scientific results stemming from projects GoodShape and VORPALINE, funded by the European Research Council, about optimal quantization, centroidal Voronoi diagrams and fast/parallel computation of Voronoi diagrams in high-dimension space. The current version provides functionalities such as isotropic/adaptive/anisotropic surface re-meshing, tolerant surface re-meshing, mesh repair and mesh decimation, constrained surface meshing, quad-dominant surface meshing and hex-dominant volume meshing. It is extensively tested on industrial data with a continuous integration platform, and extensively documented. It is now proposed (since 2014) to the sponsors of the Gocad consortium, as an extension package of the Gocad software.
