<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">I try to mesh a volume filled with spheres. The meshing works – however, GMSH creates some very flat tetraeder (sliver). Since I need the mesh for a structural analysis with explicit time integration, these elements boild
down the whole simulation and finally kill the simulation. Are there any hints, how to get rid of these elements?
