<div class="callout"><strong>Mesh building: </strong> This step is potentially memory and compute intensive depending

on the size of the synthetic vascular object being discretized. Under the hood, <code>svVascularize</code> is
68+
using a combination of <code>tetgen</code> and <code>mmg</code> meshing utilities via python subprocess calls.

These, as well as surface mesh unioning operations, are non-trivial and may take minutes-hours to complete.

Users can supply custom meshing parameters for their applications to override default values this may result
71+
in more efficient meshing, but it is recommended that default parameters are attemped first.</div>
