Do you know any remeshing software, that would read the deformed geometry or mesh and generate new mesh with more regular elements? I think that the surface of the geometry should be approximated in order to avoid using the complicated shape given by the old mesh' element. I tried to use netgen, but it fails for 3D geometry, which surface is made of many triangles.
Hi Karol,
I usually use "Rapidform XOR3" (now Geomagic Design X) but it's not a free software. I think that you can try "Meshlab", this one is less intuitive but I think that it is a good software for that.
Meshlab is an open source software package which has a lot of remeshing algorithms for polygonal meshes. If i understood correctly you want to uniformly distribute the vertices on the mesh surface.

Hi Karol:
I usually use Gmsh, is a open-source three-dimensional finite element mesh generator with built-in pre- and post-processing facilities.

Hi,
I also use GMSH which is a free software for such purpose.

Hi,
I also use Gmsh which is very good for unstructured meshes. For hexahedral elements, not so good. CUBBIT of Sandia is better for the latter but not free.
Bests.
Salome is another option and more suited for CAD based, though not supporting MacOS.
I would recommend Netgen/NGsolve solution. It handles high order geometry representation and it is open source with nice GUI.

TRIANGLE for 3 or 6 noded unstructured triangle mesh generation and TETGEN for 4 or 10 noded unstructured tetrahedron mesh generation.

, Salome is a standalone meshing tool. Here is the website:https://www.salome-platform.org
