[Gmsh] Mesh generation question

[Matt Salveson]

Thank you for a great academic tool.

When GMSH creates a mesh file, it generates "elements" that include 
points, lines, and surfaces (and volumes in 3D).  My finite element code 
only needs the surfaces (a 3 node triangle, for example) and the nodes.  
Is there an easy way to prevent GMSH from generating the line and point 
elements?  At the moment, I have my finite element code selectively 
ignoring elements.  I have tried turning off the visibility of the 
unwanted elements, but they are still saved to the mesh file.

Thanks,
Matt Salveson
