[Gmsh] Mesh different order

[Martin Vymazal]

Hello Hugo,

 that would produce strange elements: every hexahedron that is adjacent to the 
domain boundary would contain at least one face with 8 nodes and its remaining 
faces would have only 4 nodes/face. Is that really what you want?

 I don't think gmsh can mesh domain boundary and interior with different 
polynomial orders at the same time. You could mesh both with second order 
elements and then ignore the high-order nodes in the domain interior if you 
need.

Best regards,
