Abstract

We report a fast computational method for generating atomistic models of complex-shaped carbon graphitic nanostructures from their computer-aided design (CAD) representation. The novelty of the method is the adaptation of a fast finite element (FE) triangular surface mesh generation algorithm for complex geometric surfaces.
