  • $\begingroup$ Thats not really the answer of my question, but I think it was hard to guess what I really wanted. So I added some more information to the main question. $\endgroup$ Commented May 12, 2021 at 8:33
  • $\begingroup$ @Max I think the only straightforward way to convert a general quad surface mesh to a volume mesh in Mathematica is to convert quads into tris and create a Tet mesh. Higher-end proprietary meshers may allow you to create a hex-only volume mesh, but the underlying Mathematica mesher is TetGen. Therefore, it is designed for creating tetrahedral meshes and not hex meshes. $\endgroup$ Commented May 12, 2021 at 14:09
  • $\begingroup$ @Max I updated the answer assuming that the surface mesh produced by BallMesh is similar to bmesh. The approach will not work on an arbitrary unstructured Quad mesh. $\endgroup$ Commented May 12, 2021 at 17:09

  • $\begingroup$ @Max Thank you for accepting my answer! I hope you will find the technique useful. $\endgroup$ Commented May 19, 2021 at 3:25
