[Gmsh] matching 2D meshes

[Anja Miehe]

Hello everyone,
I have a question concerning the generation of matching meshes. I need the stl files of a cylinder with top, bottom and circumference separately named so I use 3 different .geo files as attached (generateSTL is the batch sh file to run all the commands)
What I find strange is, that the "Transfinite Line" command and the "Layers" command in Extrude handle the number parameter differently. Only Layers = n and Transfinite Line = n+1 result in matching meshes.
Is there any reason for it? Thanks in advance

Kind Regards / Mit freundlichen Grüßen
