Abstract
For a structural analysis using the finite element method, a hexahedral element is preferable to a tetrahedral element from the viewpoint of accuracy. However, it is very difficult to subdivide a mesh consisting of hexahedral elements if the shape of the mesh is complicated. Hence, in this paper, as a preliminary research, we use a label-driven subdivision method for a two-dimensional mesh, and show that meshes subdivided nonuniformly can guarantee as much accuracy as meshes with uniform subdivision.
