Hello.

I thought from my reading of the manual that this what "Point {p} In
Surface {s}" <http://geuz.org/gmsh/doc/texinfo/gmsh.html#Miscellaneous-mesh-commands>
was supposed to do, but when I tried it by adding

   Point {45} In Surface {14};

to your untitled.geo somewhere after the definition of Plane Surface
(14), it didn't seem to make any difference: Point 45 still didn't
become a node of the mesh.  (I did have Mesh.Algorithm = 1, to select
the MeshAdapt 2-D algorithm.)

For the case of your Point (45) though there is another simpler way
that works.  Since your Point is on the Line Loop defining the
surface, simply make it one of the terminal points of the lines
composing that Line Loop; i.e. instead of defining BSpline(1) with
Points 1, 2, 3, ..., 16, 45, 17, 37, define one BSpline with the
Points from 1 up to 45 then a second with 45, 17, and 37.
