Dear sir

I have become a fond user of gmsh when creating geometries for thermal 
calculations. I've run in to trouble in these calculations when the temperature 
gradient is very steep with a mesh that is to coarse. The problem is that I do 
not need a fine mesh anywhere else but close to the certain boundaries where 
the temperature gradient is steep. Creating a fine mesh in the whole volume 
demands to much computational time. Is there a way to separately specify the 
grid size within different physical groups?

Is there also a way to specify which types of element to be generated? I would 
like to be able to produce only prisms or hexahedrons. I'm using Gmsh as a mesh 
generator for SAFIR (a thermal and mechanical FEM-solver for fire exposed 
structures developed at University of Liege) and it can only understand prisms 
and hexahedrons in the 3-D case.
