Abstract A fast procedure for generation of regular tetrahedral finite element mesh for objects with complex shape cavities is proposed. The procedure like LBIE-Mesher can generate tetrahedral meshes for the volume interior to a polygonal surface, or for an interval volume between two surfaces having a complex shape and defined in STL-format. This procedure consists of several stages: generation of a regular tetrahedral mesh that fills the volume of the required object; generation of clipping for the uniform grid parts by a boundary surface; shifting vertices of the boundary layer to align onto the surface.We present a sequential and parallel implementation of the algorithm and compare their performance with existing generators of tetrahedral grids such as TetGen, NETGEN, and CGAL. The current version of the algorithm using the mobile GPU is about 5 times faster than NETGEN. The source code of the developed software is available on GitHub.
