Algorithms are described for checking the topological consistency of two‐ or three‐dimensional meshes. Two‐dimensional meshes may include mixtures of triangles, quadrilaterals and other polygons with optional edge or centre nodes; three‐dimensional meshes may include mixtures of cuboids and tetrahedra with optional edge; sie or internal nodes.
