Use of conjugate heat transfer right now involves the use of prenek, which results in a painful meshing experience, especially with external meshing tools like gmsh.
gmsh2nek reads the physical volume identifier from a .msh file, but does not actually utilize that information - it simply assumes the entire domain is fluid.
This issue can be closed when a project to improve gmsh2nek has been initiated. The goal of the project is to modify gmsh2nek so that it can recognize solid and fluid domains from a mesh. This is likely to involve changing the .f90 such that it reads .msh file and changes element numbers such that fluid element IDs < nelgv and solid element IDs are > nelgv.
This should improve the efficiency of the conjugate heat transfer meshing process.
