Abstract
Unconstrained Paving and Plastering [1] were introduced as new methods of generating all-quadrilateral and all-hexahedral finite element meshes. Their introduction was after preliminary conceptual studies. This paper presents an update on Unconstrained Paving and Plastering after significant implementation and conceptual development.
