-When remapping three dimensional fields, volumes of intersection between polyhedral cells are to be computed. We use the method of Jeffrey Grandy, 1999 (see \ref references) to intersect arbitrary polyhedra. The basic algorithm computes the intersection of a tetrahedron with an arbitrary (possibly non convex) polyhedron. Using splitting techniques, it is possible to transform the problem of computing the intersection between two general polyhedra into several tetrahedron-polyhedron intersection calculations. For the moment it is only possible to remap fields on meshes having mixed tetrahedral and hexahedral cells. When using a mesh with hexahedral cells, several splitting techniques may be employed depending mainly on wether the faces are planar or not. The following options are available for the splitting:
