Hi Alexandru,

you can issue the

Mesh 3 ;

command at the end of your .geo file to launch the (3D) meshing, but I don't see how to get back information about the element quality inside a loop in the .geo file...

Cheers,

Dave

Hello,

This is my first post to this list, so hello everyone.

I am just getting started with getdp and gmsh, so be warned that even though I do my best to search the docs and the archives, some of the questions may be silly.

My question concerns mesh optimization. Suppose I want to mesh a very thin long wire, and the mesh that gets generated contains very low quality elements. But I can't just decrease element size brutally, because I will run out of memory. I want to make a loop where I gradually decrease element size with every pass, until a given element quality is achieved with as little memory as possible.

Is such a loop possible in gmsh?

I ask because the doc says that there is no mesh command in the script, you have to actually run the program externally, and look at the results externally. Then modify the script to lower element size, then run it again, manually.

Is there no way to do all of this within the script?

Thank you.
