A Novel Method for Pressure Mapping between Shell Meshes of Varying Geometries and Resolutions

This manuscript discusses a novel method to map pressure results from one 3D surface shell mesh onto another. This method works independently of the actual pressures, and only focuses on ensuring the surface areas consistently match. By utilizing this approach, the cumulative forces consistently match for all input pressures. This method is demonstrated to work for pressure profiles with precipitous changes in pressures, and with small quadrangular source elements being applied to a mix of large quadrangular and triangular target elements, and the forces at all pressure profiles match remarkably.
