Today I went to the dissertation defense of Jason Shepherd. His dissertation was on the creation of all-hexahedral element meshes. It laid down some basic rules about the way a hexahedral mesh is put together and some of the applications of taking in to account both the geometry and topology of the object being meshed. I know, none of that means anything to anyone else.
It means that the process of generating a virual model that can be used for engineering calculations just became much much easier. It means that a process that used to take months now would probably take a few days. It means crazy stuff like body parts can be analyzed with one of the most powerful engineering tools ever developed.
To those in the know, this is a great day for meshing research.
