Abstract	This paper presents a surface mesh optimization method suitable to obtain a geometric finite element mesh, given an initial arbitrary surface triangulation. The first step consists of constructing a geometric support, $G^1$ continuous, associated with the initial surface triangulation, which represents an adequate approximation of the underlying surface geometry. The initial triangulation is then optimized with respect to this geometry as well as to the element shape quality. A specific application of this technique to the geometric mesh simplification is then outlined, which aims at reducing the number of mesh entities while preserving the geometric approximation of the surface. Several examples of surface meshes intended for different application areas emphasize the efficiency of the proposed approach.
