Not really: the geo export is pretty much there for debugging purposes only. The reason you get more points is probably that the straight lines in the iges files are represented e.g. by splines instead of line segments. Our goal is to mesh iges/step files directly, without converting them into geo format first... > The view is an extraction of a simple diffuser, which I > want to mesh with hexa elements. > ...but indeed, for this you would have to convert the iges file into geo format, since we haven't (yet) interfaced the structured meshing commands with general CAD files. Why is having more control points a problem? (If it really is a problem, have a look in Geo/GModelIO_Geo.cpp: you could just change the the way we export the curves.) > Would be nice, if you have any hints! > Fabian > > > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------ > > _______________________________________________ > gmsh mailing list > [email protected] > http://www.geuz.org/mailman/listinfo/gmsh -- Prof. Christophe Geuzaine University of Liege, Electrical Engineering and Computer Science http://www.montefiore.ulg.ac.be/~geuzaine _______________________________________________ gmsh mailing list [email protected] http://www.geuz.org/mailman/listinfo/gmsh
