Recently I spent a whole day getting mad with the partition tool of Salome 5.1.3. NETGEN is not able to mesh a simple square face, if there is a "open ended" partition within the face. If the partition cuts the entire face, there is no problem.

| Partition the entire face works in Salome 5.1.3 |
Since I need to model a lot of weld seams, I cant partition every face through the entire machine. I would end up with a very strange chess board.
Fortunately this bug is fixed in Salome 5.1.4. The partition tool works great with half cut faces.

Because Salome Meca 2010 includes version 5.1.3 of Salome, maybe someone else encounters this problem. So just switch to Salome 5.1.4 (and of course there are some other great features too).
