[Gmsh] internal node structure

[Trevor Irons]

Thank you. That worked perfectly for a 2D 'plane surface'! Thanks for the
tip.

I had one follow up question though, Instead of just a 2D surface I would
like to do this with a 3D surface, i.e. internal 3D object. But once I
extrude it, it becomes a volume and I cannot call Surface In Volume
anymore.


Line Loop(6) = {4,5};
Plane Surface(7) = {6};                           // Define a plane surface
Surface{7} In Volume{1};                       // This works for the
unextruded surface
Extrude {0, 0, D1-D0} { Surface{7};  }  // I want to include the surface of
this extrusion in the mesh


Surface(8) = CastToSurface{Volume{2}}; // Made up desired functionality
Surface{8} In Volume{1};                          // I want to call
something like this

Is there a way to cast an extrusion back into just a surface, but now just
the outer 3D surface?

Thanks.
