Abstract
A mathematical framework for the construction of k dimensional meshes embedded in n dimensions is provided. By extending Delaunay triangulations a generic triangulation algorithm is stated along with methods for assessing the shapes of simplices. Planar, surface and solid meshes illustrate the algorithm.
