[Getdp] Surface charge/ normal electric field strength

[Tammo Heeren]

Hello Bernhard:

Thank you for your reply. I seem to have problems posting to the list, and did not expect for my message to go through. I noticed that 
when I just look at the results with the message viewer built into gmesh, I get the described behavior. However, when I call getdp from 
the console I get the expected output. I also think that the results are printed to the console during normal operation with gmesh, but 
that the output of the values (results) are not printed in the message viewer.

I don't remember, but it could have occured with an older version, however it for sure was a windows machine.
