wrong guess

physical entities are sets of geometric entities designed in order to pass 
information such as materials and/or boundary conditions to a solver.

say you have two cylinders one on top on another and you want to solve the heat 
tranfer equation. You wold then define for example two volumetric physical 
entities one for each volume and name or number them, and from the solver side 
you decide one is copper and one is steel. Then you would define say three 
surface physical entities, one for the upper suface, one for the lower one and 
one for the two curved surfaces and again name or number them. Then from the 
solver side yoy can say "fix the temp at 200 at upper, fix the temp at 100 at 
lower and set a convection BC at curved."

hope my answer was clear.

I wish I already finished some annotated examples of applications of a FEM 
solver I am writing using Gmsh-generated grids to further illustrate the point.

Subject: Re: [Gmsh] Fwd: STEP to .geo conversion problem

Hi Bernd,
>  What is a Physical entity?

guess it is a node that is a topo point and a body point as well.
Guess it is about double nodes and double cell edges.
So control the clean conversion of compound step to geo - is nicer then 
cleaning up the whole doubles afterwards, if at all.

He, he I like juggling faces. But do not really understand the advantage over 
just exporting merged compounds?
