Hi all,

I just compiled 2.2.4 with opencascade support and now I can import .stp geometries. Then I tried a 'piston' example, the attached (piston.jpg, piston.msh) is the result I got. But I noticed that it's very different from the example in the gmsh home page (http://geuz.org/gmsh/gallery/piston.png). Seems that my output is too rough (the mesh elements are too big). What am I doing wrong? How to get a more nice result like what is in the gmsh homepage?

You should define an appropriate size field.
Try for example

gmsh -clscale .2 piston.brep

Hi JFR,

Thanks for help, it works.
I found that it also can be done in the GUI (Tools -> Option -> Mesh -> General -> Element Size Factor). I think it's a good idea to generate a 'trial' mesh with the default Element Size Factor = 1.00, and then regulate it to a proper number based on the 'trial' result. Hope this helps the other who are not so good at command line and prefer GUI (if there is anyone).

Regards,
wing
