Tim Guest Posts: n/a	Hello all, in the last time I often hear that a grid consisting of tet-volumes is less accurate than a grid of hex-volumes. Could anyone explain, what's the background. What's the difference if I sum the fluxes of 6 cellfaces in hex grids or 4 cellfaces in tet grids. Thanks, Tim
