Hi Jess and Brett,

thank you very much for the suggestions. The shift that I have is
quite large, I have attached a picture as illustration. Could you also
tell me how I can read the .tf file? I tried to open it with Wordpad,
but it seems to be a binary file.

I have also an additional question regarding BioMesh3D. Is there a way
that I can put a threshold on the minimal size of the mesh elements? I
have followed the user documentation and the input parameter for the
element size seems to only limit the maximal size of the elements.

thanks,
Hon Fai
