Jul 6, 2022 at 4:56 comment added user21 @Dunlop, in 3D basically use/look at OpenCascade when you can not get a decent solution otherwise.
Jul 5, 2022 at 9:07 comment added Dunlop This is a good idea. What is unclear to me however is when the OpenCascadeLink should be used, and when we rely on internal Mathematica functionality.
Jul 5, 2022 at 8:04 comment added user21 @Dunlop, OK, is this something you would have found useful: reference.wolfram.com/language/OpenCascadeLink/tutorial/…? I have added links from the ElementMeshGeneration and ElementMeshVisualization tutorials to this section.
Jul 4, 2022 at 18:10 comment added Dunlop To be honest it was in the documentation stating that boundary meshes are visualized in 3D. I guess what I wasn't sure about doing was working out whether the region assignment for the meshes had worked or not, and that got me confused with the visualisation. What could help for the future is something in the documentation that gives a 3D example of meshes where regions with different properties can be created.
Jul 4, 2022 at 12:20 comment added Dunlop Ok, I will go again to the documentation and see what would have helped me here. I have to say the extended documentation on FE is really good and I am learning a lot.
Jul 4, 2022 at 10:51 comment added user21 @Dunlop, I'd leave that up to you. What would be useful for me to know, is how I could improve the documentation in such a way that you would have prevented this misunderstanding. If you have a suggestion, let me know.
Jul 4, 2022 at 10:40 comment added Dunlop Ah, Thanks! Should this question be closed as it seems like this is a mistake related to me using the wrong commands for mesh visualisation?
