</p>
<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0">Is it possible within gmsh .geo file to find the elements that are touching a line and then define those </p>
<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0">elements as new surface ? I can do this externally after creating a mesh file, but would be interested</p>
<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0">if this is achievable before mesh generation. </p>
<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0"><br>
</p>
<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0">Something like</p>
<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0"><br>
</p>
<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0">Surface{1} = Elementsof{Line{1}}; or</p>
<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0">Volume{1} = Elementsof{Line{1}};</p>
