The topic of grid generation has become a field on its own in the increasingly vast field of technology. Structured grid methods take their name from the fact that the grid is laid out in a regular repeating pattern called a block. These types of grids utilize quadrilateral elements in 2D and hexahedral elements in 3D in a computationally rectangular array. Although the element topology is fixed, the grid can be shaped to be body fitted through stretching and twisting of the block. Really good structured grid generators utilize sophisticated elliptic equations to automatically optimize the shape of the mesh for orthogonality and uniformity.
