<p class="MsoNormal">Dear Sir or Madam,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I run into a problem currently with GMSH.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I have a rectangle LxH that I want to mesh. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Within that rectangle I have two lines that split the whole rectangle into 3 subdomains. Along those lines (a<=x<=L) I want to introduce a fine mesh.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thereto, I use a Field (Line attractor and Threshold). This is a matter of choice, since the problem will be upscaled towards more and overlapping refined regions.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">However, now I realise that between those two lines no mesh coarsening takes place, although it actually should.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Is there something that I am missing or is there a more neat way to do it?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Attached is the geo-file. To mesh that model I use the default 2D meshing option.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
