STRUCTTETRAMESH:
StructTetraMesh is a tool to build structured tetreaedral mesh on cuboid dataset. This is usefull in avoiding delaunay 3D triangulation that for  this kind of dataset are particularly slow and numerically unstable.
This tool allows a huge speed improvement against delaunayn for 3D points, the output triangulation will also be “slivers-less”, this is  particularly important for programs that need a conform triangulation like
fem analysis and search structure algorithms.

INPUT:
x,y,z must be vectors, they represent the axis of the cuboid. It is
also very important they need to be sorted. To improve performances there
is no check for sorted vectors so you have to check yourself.

OUTPUT:
The Cuboid points are stored in the p: N x 3 array, the tetraedral mesh
with points index is stored in tetr: Ntetr x 4 array. First point is
flagged with index one.

EXAMPLE

x=1:4;
y=1:6;
z=1:7;

[p,tetr]=StructTetraMesh(x,y,z);
figure(1)
axis equal
tetramesh(tetr,p);

    2. hola Giaccari Luigi, estoy trtando de correr tu codigo de matlab pero me aparece un error en el siguuiente codigo.,

    if
    nargin~=3

    error(
    ‘3 inputs required ‘) cuales , me sale error, que va aqui…
    podrias ayyudarme

    gracias

    You have to input the 3 vectors. Please use english! ;-)
