The mesh-generator DoMesh is a tool for the generation of freeform surfacesmeshes and has its roots in a research project from the 1980ies. The algorithm became part of the research work at the ’Lehrstuhl für Bauinformatik - TU München’ and was implemented in the commercial engineering software SOFiSTiK. The unstructured and continuous implementation of the software led to a point, where the limits of the program-structure were reached and the code became enormously intricate. Under these circumstances, no further enhancement was possible such that it was necessary to revive the code within a refactoring process. Up to now large parts of the code-renewal are accomplished and a new DoMesh version, which is to eliminate the major drawbacks of the original code, has been developed. This presentation will introduce the basic ideas of mesh-generation in DoMesh and highlight the drawbacks of the old code. The targets of reengineering DoMesh are presented and the concepts with witch they were accomplished will be explained. The basic functionality of the newly developed code will be demonstrated along with a selection of more complex examples.     «
