contents In this paper, we present a novel algorithm that integrates deep learning with the polycube method (DL-Polycube) to generate high-quality hexahedral (hex) meshes, which are then used to construct volumetric splines for isogeometric analysis. Our DL-Polycube algorithm begins by establishing a connection between surface triangular meshes and polycube structures. We employ deep neural network to classify surface triangular meshes into their corresponding polycube structures. Following this, we combine the acquired polycube structural information with unsupervised learning to perform surface segmentation of triangular meshes. This step addresses the issue of segmentation not corresponding to a polycube while reducing manual intervention. Quality hex meshes are then generated from the polycube structures, with employing octree subdivision, parametric mapping and quality improvement techniques. The incorporation of deep learning for creating polycube structures, combined with unsupervised learning for segmentation of surface triangular meshes, substantially accelerates hex mesh generation. Finally, truncated hierarchical B-splines are constructed on the generated hex meshes. We extract trivariate Bézier elements from these splines and apply them directly in isogeometric analysis. We offer several examples to demonstrate the robustness of our DL-Polycube algorithm.
