Yes : we handle STEP, BREP and IGES inputs. > I have tried this with freeCAD and exported a brep-file of my geometry but > the problem is that common faces of volume bodies in the geometry > was saved twice (each belongs to one domain) and so the gmsh' > mesh-algorithmus was not able to mesh the domains correctly. > It is possible that freecad outputs volumes that have one face in common and that face is duplicated. In this case, our basic 3D mesh actually fails because all volumes are meshed together and this particular situation generates duplicated points. We can imagine to modify the algorithm and mesh series of connected volumes together. Another way is to save volumes separately with freecad, mesh them and merge meshes. > Maybe there is another way, generating a 3D-geometry (should be scriptable) > and match the domains with material properties so that getdp could solve the > problem. > > Do you have any ideas or hints? > > Thanks in advance for your help > > Best regards from south-germany > Stefan Kremer > > > Dipl.-Phys.
