[Gmsh] Very thin elements on surface (slivers)

[Alexander Tismer]

Hi Christophe,

thanks for your quick reply.

The optimization steps (Mesh.Optimize=1 and Mesh.OptimizeNetgen) improve 
the mesh, but there is still a sliver in my mesh (see attached picture). 
I attached also my GMSH log file.

Is there a possibility to set a minimum element volume in GMSH?

Another interesting point is that the standard 3D GMSH Delauny algorithm 
(Mesh.Algorithm3D = 1) does not finish 3D meshing. The tetgen step is 
finished, but GMSH optimization step not.

Do you feel that the surface mesh is the problem? Is it of very bad quality?

Best Regards
Alex
