- This work won a best paper award at an international conference (IMR). Generating high quality hexahedral meshes is a necessary, but extremely complex task in many Computer-Aided Engineering workflows, requiring skilled personnel and taking a significant amount of time. While some strategies for hexahedral mesh generation exist, they are usually limited to standalone research tools. This paper summarises an approach that has been successfully implemented through the API to a commercial software tool, enhancing industrial impact. This has allowed it to be installed at an industrial partner site (Rolls-Royce), and tested on commercial product models (Michelle Tindall, HiFiVES-TM Lead, Michelle.Tindall@rolls-royce.com).
