Irregular grids can be generated by supplying nodal coordinates, element incidences and element zones for a 2-D slice which is composed of triangular or quadrilateral elements. Currently, triangles and quadrilaterals can not be mixed in the same slice. These slices can then be replicated to form a 3-D mesh composed of 6-node prisms (from triangles) or 8-node hexahedra (from quadrilaterals).
