<BR>
Hi Gmsh Experts,<BR>
<BR>
<BR>
<BR>
I would like to create a tetrahedral mesh from iges or step models. The<BR>
models contain parts which touch each other (result of Boolean operations).<BR>
However, when I read the model with gmsh the interface region where the<BR>
solids touch is meshed twice (once for the first object and once for the<BR>
second). Additionally, the tetrahedrons at the interface overlap<BR>
arbitrarily. Is there any way to read a CAD model and mesh it with gmsh such<BR>
that the surface of the interface region of the two solids is meshed only<BR>
once?<BR>
<BR>
<BR>
<BR>
Best regards<BR>
<BR>

PS: The screenshot enclosed to this mail may show you the result I get when<BR>
I try to mesh two cylinders, where the first cylinder was trimmed by the<BR>
second one.<BR>
