Negative Jacobian with Sculpt option "capture"

Hi @moonwalk11,
unfortunately i didn’t find a way to get rid of those negative jacobians.

Moving the nodes of a set of elements could be done.

Smooth curved 2nd-order elements with narrow boundary layers

I’m trying to generate a 2nd order (hex20) mesh with an interior “fluid” region surrounded by an exterior “solid” region separated by a curved surface, and require extremely narrow boundary layers on both sides of the interface to resolve the physics involved, and this generally requires high aspect ratio elements (~700 in the extreme) to avoid excessive element counts. The high-order solver this will be used with should be robust to curved elements and narrow boundary layers. The issue I’m havi…

How does your actual model look like?
