*--* Create a mesh with three materials. One material
*--* is a sphere, the next is a sphere offset from the
*--* first and the third material is a box outside
*--* the sphere. This example shows how the connect algorithm
*--* adds points at the material interface to break
*--* multi-material edges. It also shows that the resolution
*--* of the point distribution in the 'createpts' command
*--* has an impact on on how well the connect algorithm
*--* resolves the geometry.
*--*
*--* Note: if this was a real grid, one would use a spherical
*--* point distribution but this is designed to illustrate.
*--*
*--* A more careful choice of point distribution would improve
*--* the final result.
*--*
*--* The final mesh quality is improved with MASSAGE. The final
*--* step of massage has a large damage tolerance so there is
*--* some degredation of the geometry.
