Do you mean you want to remove hard edges, or subdivide the geometry?

Yes I want to smooth the hard edges. The subdivide concept.

There is no such feature in Unity to smooth meshes but it can be achieved programatically. Take a look at MeshSmother on Unity Wiki.

Is there an issue with this code in recent versions of Unity? I'm on 2018.1 and when applying the TestMeshSmoother to my gameObject containing the mesh, it calculalates indefinitely/ hangs.

Actually the answer to this is incorrect in saying there is no such feature in Unity as there are means of achieving this with Unity.

Here is an earlier question asked which has answers covering a few ways to achieve this, in modelling applications and/or in Unity - hopefully this helps other people finding this:

This may also be of help; There is new asset on the Unity Asset Store called Polybrush.

Polybrush on the Assetstore

Brackeys does a good job explaining it in this video:
