Hi everyone,

I'm a new user, trying to set up a simple problem to start working with gmsh 
feeding into ElmerFEM.
All I want to do is generate three cylinders that touch each other and the 
apply  positive voltage to
one face at one end and negative voltage at the opposite face on the other end 
to show that I can
build something simple and see that the potential in a stat current model is 
working. The problem
is that, for some reason, the three cylinders do not seem to be connecting to 
each other. When I
run the model, each of the three cylinders keeps its own potential there is no 
gradient in potential
across the cylinders when I adjust the conductivity to low values. It seems the 
surfaces of the three
cylinders do not connect electrically. I've turned on the 'sew faces' option, 
but still no luck.
Can anyone give me any ideas?

Thanks,

Tony

Cylinder(1) = {-50, -7.5, 0, 100, 0, 0, 7.5, 2*Pi};
Cylinder(2) = {-51, -7.5, 0, 1, 0, 0, 0.25, 2*Pi};
Cylinder(3) = {50, -7.5, 0, 1, 0, 0, 0.25, 2*Pi};
lcar1 = .1;
lcar2 = 1.0;

Characteristic Length{ PointsOf{ Volume{2:3}; } } = lcar1;
Characteristic Length{ PointsOf{ Volume{1}; } } = lcar2;
