[Gmsh] Transfinite line algorithm

[Hines, Albert M.]

I don't think my recent post was very clear. I have the input geometry below. I need to output a tetra in the center having one tag and a set of non-intersecting tetras outside the first element, all having a second tag. I need both sets to have exterior faces precisely equivalent to the input triangles below. And further, I need a procedure that is general enough to work in non-trivial situations (i.e., screen picking or entering individual id's is not allowed). Anyone kind enough to help? Sincere thanks,

Albert Hines
