Pyramid Transitions

Pyramid transitions occur when a swept or hex dominant body abuts, that is, shares faces with, a body meshed with tetrahedrons. The mesher will try to insert the pyramids into the body meshed with tetrahedrons. If that is not possible, the hexahedron at the boundary will be split into pyramids and tetrahedrons to create a conformal mesh between the two bodies. Pyramids will also be formed at the interface of an end cap of inflation on quad surface mesh and a tet body.
