I posted this here and not in FEM so hopefully DeepSIOC and Bernd can join the discussion (

I played a bit with Part-o-magic regarding using it to create multibody mesh in FC and do really like the idea (maybe have to play a little more ).
The nicest thing is that all elements inside a Module are seen as one solid. See... That's good regarding meshing in FEM-wb, because if several solids are given to gmsh the mesh-points at the interface do not coincide.
Problem:
When I now try to mesh such an Module only the 'Tip'-element of the Module gets meshed!
I think Bernd usually uses "Compound filter" from Lattice2 to create multibodies but this does not work for intersecting bodies like the one in the example above. At least not if one wants to have one single resulting solid (keyword: Filtertype=bypass).
BTW: how are elements such as the depicted treated to get one solid.... is it a compound?? Could it also be a Boolean-Fragments?
