Hello,

I am a newbie to cgal. I started reading the manual and tutorials but I have
the feeling it doesn't give me a quick enough success which would keep my
enthusiasm alive.

In short: I need to simulate the 3D potential/electric field in different
electrode systems, and than trace particles in that field. Right now I am
using other commercial software to calculate the electric field and then
trace particles in my own code. This is cumbersome on one hand, and having
full control and access to all parts of the simulation would make my work
much faster and flexible. 

After some research I thought I could use cgal for meshing my geometry, and
then use some other fem package to solve the problem. Can you please direct
me to some tutorial explaining how to describe simple geometrical objects
like cylinders, boxes, etc (my system is most often composed from similar
shapes) and mesh them? How to make boolean operations among them, etc. Most
of the examples and tutorials use complex shapes which are read in from a
file. I want to construct my geometry from my code.

Thank you
Daniel
