Gid ver 9.0.4

Hi Gid team
Is it possible to produce different mesh types in different regions? In
the attached simple test model I want to be able to produce a structured
mesh in the "dome" region and a tetrahedral mesh in the "cap" region,
both meshes can and will share the same nodes at the interface between
the 2 bodies so I think it should be possible but can't figure out a way
to do it ;-( Any Ideas?
Regards
mark

Is possible to do it, but the elements must be compatible: e.g. the
structured park instead of generate hexahedra must be set to generate
tetrahedra (because triangular faces are shared with the unstructured part
of tetrahedra)

To set the dome to be meshed as structured its volumes must have exactly 6
faces: I rebuilt again this part by revolution, to have this 6-faced
volumes.

I attach my model including the mesh (I set a number of 5 structured
divisions for all directions)

Enrique
