Abstract
Developing detailed Finite Element Models related to aerospace, automobile, civil, material science etc could be a very challenging task, especially generating a mesh that could produce accurate results. This review article provides an overview of different types of structural mechanics problems which are of interest to researchers and recent developments in meshing methodology related to each type of problems. The article also describes an automatic 2D mesh generation framework leverag- ing the capabilities of commercial FEA software MSC.PATRAN
