<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>My Name is Ruy Fernán Ruiz, from Universidad
Politecnica de Valencia in Spain and I am now working with
your excellent software "Gmesh".</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I have my own 2D surface mesh generator and I would
like to use the mesh generated by it as the input data for the 3D mesh
generation with your software.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I send the geometry to GMesh and would like
that it returns a volumetric mesh with no changes in my original
surface mesh. H</FONT><FONT face=Arial size=2>ow can I avoid that Gmesh change
the contour elements (triangles) of my original mesh.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I'm sending the file in a command
line:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>gmsh.exe -3 fname</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>and the file is attached (the surfaces that define
the volume are in fact the triangular elements of the contour).</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Does the Gmesh have an option to perform this
action? (3D mesh without changing the original surface).</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Thank you for your time,</FONT></DIV>
