    Hi Ruth,<br>
    <br>
    Thanks - that fixes my volume problem.<br>
    <br>
    My other problem remains, though.  I want to define geometry using a
    msh file, and then create a mesh with new surface elements, not the
    ones I am using for geometry surfaces.    Is there a way to do this?<br>
    <br>

            <div>I'm trying to mesh a volume defined by surfaces that

              based on the surface triangles - those are purely geometry
              and in most cases finer than the volume mesh that I want.<br>
