Hello,

I'm trying to produce a mesh that requires lines to intersect with (the control points on) a spline (see attached subduction.geo file). In an ideal world I would be able to define my elementary and physical surfaces as being bounded by these lines and subsections of the spline (i.e. elementary surface 1 in the file would be split into smaller subsurfaces) but failing that I would like to ensure that the lines are at least embedded in the mesh - as is done in the attached file ("Line {12, 13, 14, 15} In Surface {1};"). However when I mesh this file ("gmsh -2 -algo meshadapt subduction.geo") I get a series of warnings:
Warning : :-( There are 2 intersections in the 1D mesh (curves 15 1)
Warning : 8-| Gmsh splits those edges and tries again
Warning : :-) Gmsh was able to recover all edges after 7 iterations
and a poor mesh in the vicinity of the intersection and/or sometimes an error:
Error   : Unable to recover an edge 425 -200 && 425.058 -200.053 (51/68)
which produces no mesh above the spline.

Any advice on whether what I'm trying is possible would be much appreciated. I'm using gmsh version 2.5.1 on ubuntu 12.04.

Many thanks!
Cian
