I have a series of dense meshes (100) which moves from t = 0 to 99 to form a flapping motion. I tried to use Meshlab's quadric edge collapse decimation to remove the meshes about 10 times smaller and the result is very good.
This is supposed to be for my CFD code, where I need to interpolate between the meshes (t = 2 and 3) if I need to approximate the new mesh at t = 2.5.
I used to do this by interpolating between the vertices at t = 2 and 3. However, I found that after the mesh reduction, the vertices and surfaces numbering are all different now between the mesh at t = 2 and 3 and I can't use my prev mtd to do the interpolation. So how can I interpolate now to get the new mesh at t = 2.5? Or is there anyway I can simplify the mesh when preserving the vertices numbering?
Thanks!
