Hi all!

Matthias, I think, Benedikt means not duplicated faces, but faces with the same mesh, that should be created by "Symmetry" command.
Benedikt, am I right?

I join to Benedikt's question, because periodic mesh is very interesting for me.

Subject: Re: [Gmsh] periodic, aka. conforming boundary meshes ?

Hi,

I try to answer although I am no gmsh developper. ;)
To my knowledge, the best there is at the moment is to use the "cut and merge faces" feature imported from Salom? which is available under Tools->Options->Geometry->General in the gmsh GUI. Check it and open your geometry file (e.g. a STEP file). If you are lucky, duplicated faces in your geometry will be recognized and merged. It doesn't work for all cases, so there is much room for improvement. I am trying to write a postprocessor for such nonconformal meshes, but it is a very tedious work and not mature yet. I don't know if there is any work on this subject in the gmsh team...

Betreff: [Gmsh] periodic, aka. conforming boundary meshes ?

Dear gmsh developers

I know I have asked about the state of periodic, aka. conforming boundary meshes,
in 3D a while ago. Is there any news on this ?

I recently compiled gmsh from svn and tried to mesh a simple cube-like structure that requires conforming boundary meshes since it models a xy periodic electromagnet problem. However, the periodic surface mesh is wrong, showing massive distortions, see below.

I would appreciate if you could comment on your development schedule regarding
periodicity.

Thanks, Benedikt
