Dear,
does Gmsh mesher able to handle a volume penetrated by lines?
(I want to model a composite with randomly oriented straight or curved fibres, as
shown in the atached screenshot. To reduce DOFs, it is better to model the fibres as
beams. So I wonder if your software could mesh a volume, taking the lines as a sort
of internal "semi-singularities''
In my model each end of every line ("fibre") always situates on a facet of the cube ("matrix
volume"). In your screenshots I see that Gmsh successfully meshes a volume penetrated by a "tube". But
does it work if we put the "tube" radius to be zero, i.e. when the tube degenerates into a line? - This is my
case...)
Hi Vitaly - Unfortunately we don't yet support that feature. You can do
it in 2D with the "Line In Surface" command, but not yet in 3D.
Best regards,
Vitaly
