Distributed Adaptive Triangulation Algorithms
DAPTA is a software library which includes the relevant data structures and algorithms which allow a triangulation to be defined and fractured adaptively at run time.
This software is designed to be used by a programmer of a simulation who requires an efficient data structure and corresponding algorithms to store triangulation data and also requires the ability for the mesh to be adapted at run-time. The functions currently implemented allow the fracture of faces of elements as one form of adaptation. It would not be hard to implement other functions as they became necessary for other adaptation such as refining of the triangulation automatically.
Programming using DAPTA is easy. A good starting point is to look at the example programs which show simple examples of the software in use. Then the programmer can design their own simulation software on top of the geometry layer which this software provides.
