Dear all, Fields in gmsh may be defined in Mesh/Define/Fields and then used as the definition for desired element size. They can also be put on a view. But, as far as I know, they can not be exported in .pos format with "Save as..." (STL works, though) or used with a Plugin.
Am I missing something? In my opinion, they could be useful for a broad purpose if they could be handled like a view coming from a .pos file. As an example, let's say that I want to define a residual stress field known as an analytical function of the distance to the free surface. I could first use the Attractor Field to get the distance to a geometrical entity list, next apply the Evaluate Plugin with my function and finally save the result in a .pos file as the input of a finite element code. What do you think? Would it be hard to implement? I already had a look at the source code in Post/PViewData* and am willing to contribute.
