87 <p>This algorithm applies to the meshing of a hollow 3D shape, i.e. such
\r
88 shape should be composed of two meshed shells: an outer shell and an internal
\r
89 shell without intersection with the outer shell. One of the shells should
\r
90 be a 2D Projection of the other shell. The meshes of the shells can consist
\r
91 both of triangles and quadrangles.</p>
\r
93 <p class="whs1">The Radial Prism algorithm would fill the
\r
94 space between the two shells with meshes. </p>
\r

97 concerning the number and distribution of mesh layers between the inner
\r
98 and the outer shapes.</p>
