[Gmsh] gmsh 4.5.6: Creating a mesh from .vtk files - Surface is not remeshing but only the Volume

Dear Christophe,

thanks so much for your helpful and fast response. It is really appreciated!

Just to double check: Does that mean that the assignment of surface names
with the syntax I used before does not work any longer in gmsh ?

Thanks so much and have a great day :)
Kind regards,

Lisa
