[Gmsh] gmsh 4.5.6: Creating a mesh from .vtk files - Surface is not remeshing but only the Volume

[Lisa Pankewitz]

To whom it may concern,

I am trying to remesh a geometry based on .vtk files.
I merge 7 .vtk files. 4 vtk files are used to create a surface that
consists of 4 compounds. All 7 surfaces together define the volume. I
assign tags (names) to the physical surfaces, which I need in later steps.
Unfortunately, I realized the surface does not remesh. I checked
several tutorials and parameters but could not yet find a possibility to
keep the tags and remesh the surface and the volume in the assigned
characteristic length in gmsh version 4.
I tried
'''
RefineMesh
'''
but this only splits the elements instead of performing an optimal
refinement.

Do you by chance know what I could assign in order to remesh the surface
AND the volume and not only the volume?

Thanks so much for your time and have a wonderful day!
Kind regards,

Lisa
