Abstract
Mesh generation has great consequences for the results of the finite element method. There are many ways of meshing, but there are both geometrical and physical constraints during the finite element spatial discretisation. The proposed toolbox includes the main methods of mesh generation and mixes all kinds of elements (prisms, tetrahedrons, bricks) thanks to a new element of pyramidal shape, and increases the conditioning of finite element analysis
