contents In numerical simulation, structured mesh generation often requires a lot of time and manpower investment. The general scheme for structured quad mesh generation is to find a mapping between the computational domain and the physical domain. This mapping can be obtained by solving partial differential equations. However, existing structured mesh generation methods are difficult to ensure both efficiency and mesh quality. In this paper, we propose a structured mesh generation method based on physics-informed neural network, PINN-MG. It takes boundary curves as input and then utilizes an attention network to capture the potential mapping between computational and physical domains, generating structured meshes for the input physical domain. PINN-MG introduces the Navier-Lamé equation in linear elastic as a partial differential equation term in the loss function, ensuring that the neural network conforms to the law of elastic body deformation when optimizing the loss value. The training process of PINN-MG is completely unsupervised and does not require any prior knowledge or datasets, which greatly reduces the previous workload of producing structured mesh datasets. Experimental results show that PINN-MG can generate higher quality structured quad meshes than other methods, and has the advantages of traditional algebraic methods and differential methods.
