[Gmsh] 10-node tetrahedron elements

[Michael Groß]

Dear Christophe,

we have questions to your article

"A frontal approach to hex-dominant mesh generation".

We also tried to use gmesh for meshing existing CAD-data from the
homepage cited as Reference 41 in the above mentioned paper. But,
gmesh generates error messages concerning penetrated surfaces.

Could you give us hints for meshing such CAD-files with gmesh?

Many thanks

Michael
