Hexahedron (i,j,k) meshing algorithm - solids are split into hexahedral elements thus
forming a structured 3D mesh. The algorithm requires that 2D mesh generated on a
solid could be considered as a mesh of a box, i.e. there should be eight nodes shared
by three quadrangles and the rest nodes should be shared by four quadrangles.
Body Fitting meshing algorithm - solids are split into hexahedral elements forming a
Cartesian grid; polyhedra and other types of elements are generated where the
geometrical boundary intersects Cartesian cells.
Some 3D meshing algorithms, such as Hexahedron(i,j,k) also can generate 3D meshes from
2D meshes, working without geometrical objects.
