In order to save time and efforts in generating finite element meshes in irregular houndaries of domains, it is needed to develop an automatic mesh-generator which can hoth promote the accuracy of solutions and reduce the run-time in operating finite ele- ment models. In this study, the advancing front technique of triangular mesh generation and the transforming technique from triangular meshes to quadrilateral meshes were used to de- velop a computer program for the automatic triangular and quadrilateral meshes in the mixed shape. Furthermore, to enhance the quadrilateral mesh quality, the techniques of Laplancian smoothing and interior mesh modification were employed. The mesh genera- tor was applied to evaluate its applicability to irregular and complex geometries such as Nakdong river bay. In has hoen shown that the automatic mesh generator developed is capable of automatically generating meshes for irreguiar and complex geometries with high qualities of meshes and with the simple input data of arbitrarily specified nodal spacing in bound- aries.
