The purpose of the AM2NS Associate Team is to mutualize the knowledge of all teams in order to develop the next generation of meshing methods and their parallelization to address the new challenges in numerical simulations for industrial problems. The Associate Team is composed of four partners: Inria, Mississippi State University, The Boeing Company and Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

In the area of geometric modeling, major challenges are linked to the efficient visualization of CAD surfaces and to the generation of meshes adapted to numerical simulation. In this context, the conception of a discrete geometric model provides a simple and universal representation model, without the need for CAD. A first study has been carried out for the conception of a model of order 1 (one) defined by a 'triangulation' composed of quadrilaterals and triangles. The advantage of this model of order 1 lies in its geometric simplicity. However, in the case of complex surfaces, it may require a very large number of elements, and besides it is not sufficiently rich to give certain essential characteristics like geometric curvatures. The main goal of this project is to extend this discrete model of order 1 to higher orders.
