Abstract (arXiv)

Generating high-quality meshes for arbitrary geometries remains a fundamental bottleneck in computational engineering, often demanding heuristic tuning and semi-manual workflows. In this paper, we introduce Dmsh, a first fully automated reinforcement learning pipeline that unifies geometric decomposition and quadrilateral mesh generation within a single learning-based framework. Dmsh decomposes the problem through three coordinated agents handling topology simplification, geometric regularization, and mesh generation. The meshing process is formulated as a Markov Decision Process and solved using a parametric Soft Actor-Critic architecture with decoupled critics, enabling efficient exploration of a hybrid discrete-continuous action space. A curriculum learning strategy ensures scalability from simple domains to highly complex geometries, suppressing seed variance. By design, the recursive decomposition enables parallel meshing of subregions, yielding globally conforming all-quadrilateral meshes without post hoc correction. Across a wide range of benchmarks, Dmsh consistently outperforms existing methods in automation, robustness, and mesh quality, establishing a new paradigm for learning-based mesh generation.
