Hi Jan,
your sphere is so small that it has been automatically removed...
Go to Tools->Options->Geometry->General and uncheck "Remove small edeges in OCC models"
and "Remove small faces in..."
Regards,
Dave

Thank you for the reply. I attach the Sphere_1.brep file.
You should be able to create the same brep, if you start Salome 5.1.3, create a
sphere primitive and export the sphere
as brep.
Thanks
Jan

can you send us the brep ?

Dear all,
I am trying to mesh a sphere that I have created in Salome and saved in either
BREP,STL,STEP or IGES format.
Opening any of those geometries in Gmsh shows nothing, except for the STL
format which shows a surface triangular
representation of the sphere. Is this expected behaviour?
Running any of these commands produces empty meshes or error messages:
gmsh -3 Sphere_1.brep
gmsh -3 Sphere_1.stl
gmsh -3 Sphere_1.step
gmsh -3 Sphere_1.iges
Is the reason that a sphere has no edges? If yes, what steps are required to
save geometries with spherical boundaries
in Salome and to create a 3D tetrahedral mesh for them using Gmsh?
Btw, creating a Box in Salome and have Gmsh create a 3D mesh for this box works
fine.
Thanks
Jan
