Hi David,
Thanks for replying. Can you please clarify:
1. The manual says a `view' is a scalar data field. Can I generate such
a field from my geometry?.
No
What is the element type generated by this
plugin?.
2. I have a complicated geometry comprised of many small `patches'
(small ruled surfaces). I can create a surface mesh for this shape and
save his mesh. I then want to define a control volume around the shape
and mesh this volume (and its faces). If I load the surface mesh
wouldn't it be mis-aligned with the volume mesh ( for a quadrilateral
touching the surface, its node on the surface may not collocate with a
node of triangle on the surface)?
Why generate the surface mesh, save it, and reload it to embed it in a control
volume ?
Just define your control volume in the same .geo file where you define your surface, and mesh all at the same time. But
you have to be careful if the surface touch the surface of the control volume, you cannot have overlapping surfaces.
Cheers,
Dave
The saving and loading of meshes was adviced here:

Hi Mike,
the Skin plugin must be applied on a post-processing view, not on a
geometry.
Cheers,
Dave

manual says it extracts the boundary of a view (p.68). After I've
built my shape from elementary entities how do I define a view and
obtain its `skin'?. Is this `skin' defined as a new surface?.
