more Nodes and Elements generated by gmsh version of 2.10.1 #80

Closed ZhihaoJia16 closed 8 years ago

I update the version of gmsh from 2.8.3 to 2.10.1. In examples of Thermal radiation, heat transfer, and non-equilibrium Casimir forces between silicon dioxide spheres, when I run 

% gmsh -2 -clscale 0.5 Sphere.geo
% RenameMesh Sphere.msh

it does not generate Sphere_1479.msh, but Sphere_1485.msh. And threre are498 Nodes and 991 Elements in Sphere_1485.msh. I run,

% gmsh -2 -clscale 1 Sphere.geo
% RenameMesh Sphere.msh

it's ok, generating Sphere_501.msh,

When the version of gmsh is 2.8.3, it's ok, genarating Sphere_501.msh and Sphere_1479.msh. But it‘s still not ok when I remove 2.10.1 gmsh and install 2.8.3 gmsh.

These are minor discrepancies among various GMSH versions that have absolutely no bearing on the performance of SCUFF-EM, other than to require simple modifications of the example .scuffgeo files included in the source distribution to refer to the proper .msh files generated by whatever version of GMSH you happen to be running.
