Hello
As a big fan of freefem in 2D for almost ten years, I am trying to learn about 
ff3d.
I got a couple of problems and questions that some of you may already have 
encountered.
many thanks in advance
Benoit

Questions about FF3D

1) Mesh
     a. GMSH
             i. Freefem3D used to work fine with GMSH type format. Since the V2 
version of GMSH, file formats have changed,   which makes GMSH incompatible 
with Freefem3D. The format differences are described in the pdf documentation 
on GMSH web site.

            ii. Did anyone try to take account of boundary conditions with GMSH 
meshes (identify parts of surface boundary with specific boundary conditions).

     b. In the case of Cartesian structured meshes, is it possible to use 
meshes with geometrical progressions.

     c. Do adaptmesh – like functions exist in FF3D like in 2D (I am a big fan 
of 2D adaptmesh function) ?

2) Inputs

     a. Can one read a scalar function on a given mesh (like .bb formats) ?

3) Outputs

     a. In case of vtk postprocessing files (or other formats), one would like 
to write a list of scalar + vectors in a single file.
     save(vtk,fichier_toto,{a,b,c,d,e},M)) ?

4) On a longer term, will the code be parallelized? Mesh partitioning for 
domain decomposition ?
