Abstract The spatial twist continuum (STC) is a powerful extension of the dual of a hexahedral mesh Murdochet al.,Int. J. Numer. Math. Engng (submitted). The STC captures the global connectivity constraints inherent in hexahedral meshing. Whisker wwaving is an advancing-front type of algorithm based on the STC[Tautges et al., Int. J. Numer. Math. Engng (submitted]. During the whisker weaving algorithm, certain types of degenerate elements calledwedges [Biacker; Myers (1993)Engng with Computers 9, 83–93 arise. This paper describedwedges and how they are formed, and presentscollapsing anddriving, two strategies for removing these degeneracies.
