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:
