<div>Hi guys</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I am having trouble meshing a geometry composed of 3 kinds of materials. Let's call them material A, B and C.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>The 3 material in the geometry has 2 interfaces. I defined several physical surfaces and 3 physical domains.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Weird things happened then. In the resulting mesh, the vertices on A/B interface are well aligned, i.e. each vertex on A/B interface and belongs to A mesh has an identical copy in B mesh. They have the same coordinates, so I can connect them in solving
stage.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>However, the vertices on B/C are not well aligned. A vertex belongs to C mesh may be located in the middle of a facet which belongs to B mesh.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>It is hard to describe using words, so I posted a question here:</div>
