Dear friends, I have a complex closed surface which is created with a lot of quadrilateral surfaces.
Is it possible to create hexahedral volume elements from quadrilateral elements in a complex geometry?
What is your idea about using the high order tetrahedral or hexahedral elements for this purpose? Which one is more accurate?

Regards
