<div style="direction: ltr;font-family: Tahoma;color: #000000;font-size: 10pt;">Good afternoon,<br>
<br>
I am new to GMSH and I have only spent about 10 minutes looking at the website and the manual, so please excuse me if my question is too naive.<br>
<br>
I would be interested to know whether and how GMSH could be used for the following problem:<br>
-there is a region defined on the surface of the Earth (given as a series of latitude-longitude pairs),<br>
-the goal is to make a roughly equally spaced mesh on this spherical region (characterized with one parameter, average distance between nodes),<br>
-there are already fixed nodes (initial mesh?) within this region that the final mesh should contain exactly (the edge of the surface does not have constrained points).<br>
<br>
Any kind of help to start with the above problem would be appreciated.<br>
<br>
With best regards,<br>
<br>
