Hello,

This is my first posting to the group.

I am trying to create a mesh of a pipe that is insulated. The insulation will 
have a radial cut out in the middle of the
joint with a different insulation material in this section.

I can create the model in 2D, but how to I rotate the 2D around the axis of 
symetry to create the 3D pipe model?

Hi Andrew,

But don't forget that Gmsh's native CAD engine does not support circles arcs >= Pi. Split your body into 3 pieces and you'll be fine.

Regards,

Dave
