SphereMeshGenerator
Generate a 3-D sphere mesh centered on the origin
Overview
The SphereMeshGenerator creates a 3-D mesh of a sphere. The mesh refinement and smoothing parameters define the mesh density. Figure 1 depicts several sphere meshes (sliced in half to illustrate the interior elements) for different selections of refinement and smoothing parameters.
