MIEL3D-MESHER is a national project of the SYSTEM@TIC Paris-Région cluster which aims at the development of automatic hexahedral mesh generation tools and their application to the finite element analysis of some physical problems. One task of this project is concerned with the definition of a toolbox for the construction of non-conforming, hybrid hexahedral/tetrahedral meshes. In this context, the contribution of the team to this project aims at the development of a DGTD-${\mathbb{P}}_p{\mathbb{Q}}_k$ method formulated on such hybrid meshes. Here, ${\mathbb{P}}_p$ stands for the polynomial interpolation method on tetrahedral elements while ${\mathbb{Q}}_k$ denotes the polyomial interpolation method on hexahedral elements.
