Hi Paul,

I have used N=6 and N=8 with that grid, with little difference in the
results.  There are more elements (120) in the xy plane than for the m=4
(48 elements in xy) mesh
http://www.cct.lsu.edu/~fmuldoo/temp/m-4.png
or for the m=5 (60 elements in xy) mesh
http://www.cct.lsu.edu/~fmuldoo/temp/m-5.png

Cheers,
Frank
