<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;color:#1F497D">I have a converter that reads only the tetrahedral elements from
the mesh file and outputs a mesh format specific to the FEM solver that I am
using. I then set the boundary conditions using the Pre-Post tool that comes
with the solver. So I am ignoring all non-tetrahedral elements in the Gmsh mesh
file.<u></u><u></u></span></p>
