Abstract
ABSTRACT: The main objective of this work is to develop an automation for a mesh generation process of a cylindrical geometry made of sapphire. The use of commercial programs that have as main technology the Finite Element Method (Ansys, Comsol Multiphysics, Abaqus) in development of gravitational wave transducers encompasses most of the theses and articles performed. The great importance of using these technologies is due to the difficulty of obtaining materials with high electrical, mechanical quality factors and experiments performed with prototypes. Given this, the idea of the author of this article is to create an automation process for mesh generation using an Open Source software called Salome-Meca. Salome is a solution that provides a generic platform for pre- and post-processing numerical simulation.
