Please, have a look at the tutorial 13 http://geuz.org/gmsh/doc/texinfo/gmsh.html#t13_002egeo
I think it describes exactly what you want to achieve.

Best,
Mikhail

This works if I want the mesh to be as small as the smaller of the meshes across the surface but what if the mesh is too small and I want it to be the size of the larger?

    Here is a quick and dirty solution:

    // --- scalpel2.geo ---
    Merge "scalpel2.step";
    Mesh.CharacteristicLengthMax = 2;
    Mesh.Algorithm = 1; // MeshAdapt

    The picture of the mesh I got is attached.

    The original scalpel is present in the .step file and in the .geo
    file I have defined one compound surface. My goal is to be able
    to have a uniform mesh throughout that compound surface.  The end
    goal is to have a process for making uniform meshes across
    surfaces that are one surface but divided on a CAD model.  Thanks
    for your help.

        Hi Thomas,

        If you share that example of a scalpel with Compound Surfaces
        that you defined, I can try and show what can be done.

            Hi Thomas,

            I would suggest to play with the size of the mesh cells.
            There are several ways:

                Hello,
                In this picture the top is the original mesh of the
                scalpel. In the bottom
                I defined some compound surfaces. The mesh changed
                but the problem is that
                even in the one compound surface the mesh goes from
                point to point and is
                smaller in the areas where there used to be a
                smaller surface. I would like
                to be able to have a uniform mesh across surfaces.
                Does this make the
                problem clear? Thanks for your help.
