[GiDlist] meshing

[Mark Smith]

I have an electrostatics application where I have a surface & discrete point
charges not on the surface.
I have found that the only way to write out both the surface mesh and the
points to a mesh file is to join the points to a dummy point with lines to
make them linear elements.
Is there a more elegant method to enable both surface elements & points to
be written to a mesh file?
Thanks in advance
Mark

By default, isolated points are not meshed as nodes, but you can change this
setting with:

Utilities-Preferences: Meshing , and select "Mesh Always by default" for
Points

Note: The nodes are hidden by default, but can show their labels.
(or show written "escape escape View Entities Nodes" in the command line or
with the right buttons)
