ALEXANDRIA, Va., Nov. 6 -- United States Patent no. 12,462,484, issued on Nov. 4, was assigned to TESSAEL (Villers les Nancy, France).
"Method for generating a hexahedral mesh" was invented by Wan-Chiu Li (Nancy, France).
According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "A method is described for generating a hexahedral mesh from a geological model, including: generating a three-dimensional tetrahedral mesh from the geological model; getting a 3D hexahedral mesh based on a tetrahedral mesh, including: verticalizing the tetrahedral mesh to make the faults and boundaries of the domain vertical; calculating a global 2D parameterization for a reference horizon of the verticalized mesh; determining a 2D grid formed fr...
