Thank you, David.

That solved the problem.

Can I also uncheck those options when I run gmsh from the command line without 
GUI? How?


yes, with

gmsh Sphere_1.brep -string 
"Geometry.OCCFixSmallEdges=0;Geometry.OCCFixSmallFaces=0;"


Dave



Thanks
Jan

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
