Comparison of snappyHexMesh (OF-2.3.0 v.s. foam-extend-3.2)

I compared snappyHexMesh of OF-2.3.0 and foam-extend-3.2.

test body: Ahmed body
cell size of background mesh: 40 mm for XYZ directions
cell refinement level on Ahmed body: 4 (2.5 mm)
relative thickness of the first layer: 0.03125 (0.078125 mm)
thickness growth rate of layers: 2.0
number of layers: 5

checkMesh result:

The grid meshed by OF-version has tet wedges, while the one by foam-extend version doesn't.
The rest of the stats is not largely different.
