Using basic image processing techniques and minimal user intervention, FLUIDMESH ver1.0 software written in Matlab can generate decent/approximate two-dimensional unstructured quadrilateral meshes.

This code can be useful to model microstructure, fluid-structure interaction or any geometry that can be photographed with a known length scale. Connect with me if you are interested to use or contribute to the code.

This code is far from finished. Improvements planned in the near future are

  1. Nurbs modeling of edges. 2) Projection correction.
