"A powerful geometric abstraction that provide useful intermediate
representations for a number of geometric operations on solid models
including feature recognition, shape decomposition, finite element
mesh generation, and shape design."

"A systematic and conceptually simple method is developed to
generate hexahedral meshes for solid models of 3D objects. The method
is rational and systematic due to a consistent, recursive utilization
of skeletons to associate points on object boundaries with lower
dimensional skeleton entities."
