{ 3D_LIMITED_REGION.PDE  

 

 This example shows the use of LIMITED REGIONS in 3D applications.

 The LIMITED qualifier applied to a REGION section tells FlexPDE to construct

 the region only in those layers or surfaces specifically referenced in the region

 definition.

 In this problem, we have a heat equation with a small cubical heated box in the middle layer.
