Abstract
The traditional structured grid based chimera grid scheme is extended to include
the unstructured hexahedrons as the component grids. Recent developments of a
quadrilateral based radiated grid (also known as hair grid) and a hexahe-dral
based tree grid generators are described. The main input method for the
quadrilateral dominated surface mesh generator is through IGES files from most
CAD packages. Example is given for X-38, a crew return spacecraft de-signed by
JSC/NASA.
