Abstract
FE-simulation of complex metal forming processes is often hampered by mesh distortion. In this case a new mesh of quadrilateral or hexahedra l elements must be generated (remeshing). This cannot be done effectiv ely by using currently available methods. This paper presents a new al gorithm for the generation of hexahedral element meshes. The quality o f the algorithm is demonstrated by the simulation of a complex forging process.
