Thanks Dave That has worked, however after some further reading I understand that GMSH cannot process the mesh inside a cone. Is this likely to change any time soon?

Please note that, starting with Gmsh 2.0, region numbers cannot be specified explicitly anymore in Layers commands. Instead, as with all other geometry commands, you must use the automatically created entity identifier created by the extrusion command. For example, the following extrusion command will return the id of the new "top" surface in num[0] and the id of the new volume in num[1]: num[] = Extrude {0,0,1} { Surface{1}; Layers{10}; }; ... You should modify your .geo file according to the new syntax: http://geuz.org/gmsh/doc/texinfo/gmsh-full.html#SEC28 and http://geuz.org/gmsh/doc/texinfo/gmsh-full.html#SEC36 , starting from Extrude { { 0, 0, 1 }, { 0, 0, 0 }, 2*Pi/3 } { Surface { 12 }; Layers { 6 }; Recombine; } instead of Extrude Surface {12, {0,0,1}, {0,0,0}, 2*Pi/3} {Recombine ; Layers { 6, 54, 1 } ; } ; Cheers, Dave -- David Colignon, Ph.D. Collaborateur Logistique du F.R.S.-FNRS (Équipements de Calcul Intensif) ACE - Applied & Computational Electromagnetics Institut Montefiore B28 Université de Liège 4000 Liège - BELGIQUE Tél: +32 (0)4 366 37 32 Fax: +32 (0)4 366 29 10 WWW: http://hpc.montefiore.ulg.ac.be/ Agenda: http://www.google.com/calendar/embed?src=david.colignon%40gmail.com Martin, Timothy J wrote: > Hi! > > I am trying to extrude a surface by rotating it, then process the 3D > mesh in openflower. > Extruding seems to create some errors - line 34 : Explicit region > numbers in layers are deprecated > I can then generate a 3d mesh, but there is one error - Cannot > tetrahedralize volume with quadrangles on boundary > Openflower crashes when trying to run the .flw file. > > I have copied the following code, but don't understand where to get the > numbers from in the layers expression - Layers { 6, 54, 1 } could this > be the problem? > > Extrude Surface {12, {0,0,1}, {0,0,0}, 2*Pi/3} { > Recombine ; Layers { 6, 54, 1 } ; > } ; > > Extrude Surface {64, {0,0,1}, {0,0,0}, 2*Pi/3} { > Recombine ; Layers { 6, 311, 1 } ; > } ; > > Extrude Surface {116, {0,0,1}, {0,0,0}, 2*Pi/3} { > Recombine ; Layers { 6, 568, 1 } ; > } ; > > > .geo .flw and GMSH error log attached. > <<die2.flw>> <<die2.geo>> <<GMSH error.txt>> > Many thanks!! > > *Tim Martin* > > > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------ > > _______________________________________________ > gmsh mailing list > [email protected] > http://www.geuz.org/mailman/listinfo/gmsh _______________________________________________ gmsh mailing list [email protected] http://www.geuz.org/mailman/listinfo/gmsh
