[Getdp] Re-4: two disjoined bodies / disjunct

[mkoch at gvtc.com]

Hi Matthias,

well, that is exactly one of my concerns, hence the subject title contains the
word "disjoined", and that also is why I liked your thought about 
treating this
like a network. (I was able to solve hole problems in the past, though).

However, I know not which one is true, and I simply lack the time and 
direction
to explore both of them. The very least I hope to get out of this e-mail train
is for someone to say yes/no, disjoined bodies are impossible, and/or to say,
yes/no treating this like a network is the way to go.

Whichever direction is recommended, I will then also need better pointers than
available in the manual on how to implement the respective strategy. My files
are a feeble attempt at a start, but they probably are completely wrong, so an
expert opinion is badly needed.

Also, the actual motivator for this, i.e. the desire to treat radiation 
exchange
problems, only makes sense if we can treat disjoined bodies. The point is that
radiation exchange between two surface is very well known, so we can spare the
computation of the space in between.
