An example including bottom-up meshing techniques

The following is a step-by-step example of meshing a part using a combination of top-down and bottom-up methods. The procedures and images describe one way that you can create a hexahedral mesh for this part. Before you begin, you should be familiar with top-down meshing, creating partitions, and using the Edit Mesh toolset. You should also have read the sections discussing bottom-up meshing, mesh-geometry associativity, and related techniques:
