Abstract: Mesh generators must become more powerful to keep up with the growing sophistication of device simulators. The mesh generator MESHBUILD, which produces meshes with no obtuse angles for structures with reasonably complex geometries, is described. The overall number of mesh elements is reduced compared with similar mesh generators. MESHBUILD is suitable for use in automatic grid generation and includes an interactive graphics interface. Run times for complex examples are on the order of 1 min on a Sun-4 workstation. >
