<h1>Radial Prism</h1>
<p>This algorithm applies to the meshing of a hollow 3D shape, i.e. such
shape should be composed of two meshed shells: an outer shell and an internal
shell without intersection with the outer shell. One of the shells should
be a 2D Projection of the other shell. The meshes of the shells can consist
both of triangles and quadrangles.</p>
<p class="whs1">The Radial Prism algorithm would fill the
space between the two shells with meshes. </p>
<p class="whs1">This algorithm also needs the information
concerning the number and distribution of mesh layers between the inner
and the outer shapes.</p>

<p class="whs1">Distribution of layers can be set with any
of 1D Hypotheses. </p>
