Currently,
the best way to ensure that small component are mot missed
is to set initial points in them or on them boundary.
Then you have to use refine_mesh_3 instead of
make_mesh_3 for your initaial seeding points to be taken into account.

Another way, if you know the area where the small components are supposed to be,
is to define a  variable sizing field with a value locally similar to the size of the components
to be meshed.

Hi,

I have posted about my problem already here http://cgal-discuss.949826.n4.nabble.com/3D-volume-mesher-ignoring-small-subdomains-td4655756.html but thought I reformulate it:

I have a labeled image as input to make_mesh_3 which contains a small sub-domain (label 2) inside a larger domain (label 1). Small meaning the its characteristic size is about two orders of magnitude smaller then the embedding domain.

So my question is, what are the criteria for refining cells in the large domain to ensure that they do not "shadow" a complete small sub-domain? I would like to be able to set a large maximum cell size for the large domain and a suitable cell size for small sub-domain. When setting the cell and facet criteria in such a way, my small sub-domain is ignored however.

Any tips would be highly appreciated.

Thanks,

Sascha
