The two general mesh generation algorithms presented in Section 5.1 work for symmetric geometries. However, due to the simplicity of reflective and rotational symmetries (compared to general similarities), specializations of these algorithms have been proposed for geometries with reflective symmetries, rotational symmetries, and their combination (cf. Chapter 6).
These algorithms are less complicated, because they take direct advantage of properties induced by these symmetries. For example, reflective symmetries do not have conformity issues on instance interfaces (cf. Lemma 6.1 and Lemma 6.2).
