In this paper, we present a novel simple method, based on an implementation of space mapping technique, for improvement of the quality of tetrahedral and hexahedral meshes. The same approach is used for surface meshes where geometry of the initial surface mesh is preserved by a local mesh improvement such that new positions of the interior nodes of the mesh remain on the original discrete surface. The proposed method can be used in the pre-processing stage for subsequent studies (finite element analysis, computer graphics, etc.) by providing better input parameters for these processes. Experimental results are included to demonstrate the functionality of our method.
