English abstract:
This paper describes a novel approach to the problem of 3D surface smoothing by introducing an enhanced surface description of the structural model. The idea of the enhanced surface model is the introduction of an independent vector field for the description of the surface normal field. It is connected to the discretized surface by means of a weak form of the orthogonality conditions. Surface smoothing then is applied element-by-element using the interpolation of the surface patch and the nodal normal vectors.
Keywords: 3D, enhanced surface, smoothing
