CENTAUR_Adapt - Surface Fidelity

The adapter ensures that the fidelity of the CAD surface is maintained throughout the adaptation process.

Capabilities:

New surface nodes match CAD surfaces exactly
Mesh validity is ensured

Leading Edge Surface Matching

This example shows refinement at the leading edge of a blade demonstrating that new points are placed onto the original surface. The white lines show the original mesh and the green lines show the refined mesh. Note the substantial motion in the lower portion of the leading edge.
