This invention discloses a method for automatically generating structured meshes and
terrain for canals based on parametric modeling. This method involves parametrically inputting canal design parameters and original
terrain data, and sequentially executing five core steps: original
terrain interpolation and fusion, generation of straight channel meshes and terrain, generation of curved channel meshes and terrain, seamless stitching of straight and curved meshes with terrain, and mesh-terrain format conversion and structured reconstruction. The entire process is automated using
MATLAB code. This invention addresses the pain points of existing technologies, such as
distortion in straight-curved stitching, low
automation, and poor digital twin adaptability. The generated structured mesh is accurately adapted to the 3D terrain and can be directly imported into numerical
simulation software and digital twin platforms. It provides high-precision data support for canal
engineering design, hydraulic characteristic analysis, and digital twin
system construction, and is suitable for
engineering needs involving multiple sections of alternating straight and curved artificial canals.
