Abstract: A method----heaping method ,which uses background lines to determine generation orient of quadrilateral elements is presented. The method is more simple than paving method in structure and more fast in speed because it avoids crosses and intersections between elements layers. In this paper, basis theory of heaping method is first introduced. Secondly, two examples are given. At last, its performance is evaluated.

Key words: Finite element, Heaping, Mesh, Quadrilateral
