Abstract
A parallel adaptive tetrahedral mesh generation program using the adva ncing front method is described. The problem domain is initially defin ed by a course background mesh of tetrahedral elements which forms the input for finite element analysis and from which adaptive parameters are calculated. Parallel adaptive mesh generation is then carried out by dividing the background mesh into subdomains and refining each subd omain concurrently using the nodal parameters previously calculated an d undertaken by the advancing front method.
