To discuss: Hierarchical smoothing

[hovey]

Overview

Hierarchical smoothing on model IXI012-HH-1211-T1_large.npy produces nice results with some exceptions. The element shape quality in these "spiky" areas appears to be consistently > 0.5, which is good.

Questions

• Is this as good as it gets without further degrading shape quality?
• With Cubit, how to show minimum scaled Jacobian on mesh (mesh is not associated with a geometry)?
