Dear Mr. Geuzaine, I have been using gmsh for a while and really like it as a meshing program. Thanks for keeping such a quality program open-source. I have been promoting it all round.
I'm having trouble in choosing the best algorithm to mesh the geometry i'm attatching. As it is, the all-hex algoritm (I need to generate only hexahedrons) is working but it generates a lot of strange elements with rho < 0.01. These tend to crash my FEA software. I would like to try a transfinite structured mesh in order to get a better mesh but don't know where to start. I've meshed 2d surfaces (for 2d problems) using this by following the examples. But i am lost for 3D. Could you help me with this? Best regards, BTW: I'm working on a GUI interface program to help import these meshes into OpenSEES (opensees.berkeley.edu) that will help my students work with these models with a much lower overhead. If you want to check out (very drafty as of now) you can do a search for gmsh2opensees in google code. I'd appreciate your comments. Maqybe you're interested in collab. -- José A. Abell M., M.Sc.
