I realize Klaus will also need to connect 3 cylinders at one unique node...
This is not implemented yet, and I'd rather not promise anything on the delay for me doing
that.
So, the good decision all depends on how much implementation Klaus is ready to do.
We should perhaps meet each other to discuss that in details (Klaus is in
Cemagref-Grenoble right?).
