Indeed: coilLoops[1]:coilLoops[nc] means {coilLoops[1], coilLoops[1]+1, coilLoops[1]+2, ..., coilLoops[nc]}. What you want is coilLoops[{1:nc}].
So I would do: Plane Surface(loopAir) = {loopAir, coilLoops[{1:nc}]}; Cheers, Christophe On 08 Jan 2013, at 23:27, Ricardo Luiz Dalbosco <rica...@dalbosco.net> wrote: > Hi Christophe, > > Here is the code I'm trying to run: > > > a = 0.3; //Coil side lenght > kr = 2; //Coil correction factor > nc = 10; //Num,ber of ciol turns > b = kr*a; //Space between coils > lc = a*( kr*(nc - 1) + 1 ) + a; //Air region lenhgt > mesh = 1.0; > > x = 0; y = lc/2; z = 0; > > //Loop to draw nc squares > For turn In {1:nc} > > //Points > point1 = newp; Point(point1) = {x, y, z, mesh}; > point2 = newp; Point(point2) = {x + a, y, z, mesh}; > point3 = newp; Point(point3) = {x + a, y + a, z, mesh}; > point4 = newp; Point(point4) = {x, y + a, z, mesh}; > > //Lines > line1 = newl; Line(line1) = {point1, point2}; > line2 = newl; Line(line2) = {point2, point3}; > line3 = newl; Line(line3) = {point3, point4}; > line4 = newl; Line(line4) = {point4, point1}; > > //Plane Surface (newsl = surface loop) > lineLoop = newsl; Line Loop(lineLoop) = {line1, line2, line3, line4}; > > //Lista para criar a Physical Surface > coilLoops[turn] = lineLoop; > > //Space between turns > x += b; > > EndFor > > //Draw a rectangular Air container > x = 0; y = 0; z = 0; > pAir1 = newp; Point(pAir1) = {x - a, y, z, mesh}; > pAir2 = newp; Point(pAir2) = {x + lc, y, z, mesh}; > pAir3 = newp; Point(pAir3) = {x + lc, y + lc, z, mesh}; > pAir4 = newp; Point(pAir4) = {x - a, y + lc, z, mesh}; > > //lines > lineAir1 = newl; Line(lineAir1) = {pAir1, pAir2}; > lineAir2 = newl; Line(lineAir2) = {pAir2, pAir3}; > lineAir3 = newl; Line(lineAir3) = {pAir3, pAir4}; > lineAir4 = newl; Line(lineAir4) = {pAir4, pAir1}; > > //Line Loop > loopAir = newsl; > Line Loop(loopAir) = {lineAir1, lineAir2, lineAir3, lineAir4}; > //Plane Surface with coil squares as holes > Plane Surface(loopAir) = {loopAir, coilLoops[1]:coilLoops[nc]}; > //Physical Surface > Physical Surface("Air") = {loopAir}; > > --------- > > So, the problem seems to be this line: > Plane Surface(loopAir) = {loopAir, coilLoops[1]:coilLoops[nc]}; > > Also, the code Plane Surface(loopAir) = {coilLoops[1]:coilLoops[nc]}; gives > the same problem. > > It works fine when I describe the Plane Surface like this: > Plane Surface(loopAir) = {loopAir, coilLoops[1], coilLoops[2], coilLoops[3], > ..., coilLoops[nc] }; > > And the syntax coilLoops[1]:coilLoops[nc], also works describing a Physical > Surface("Coil") = {coilLoops[1]:coilLoops[nc]}. > > I am using Gmsh 2.6.1 version. > > > > -- > Ricardo Luiz Dalbosco - > > > > On Tue, Jan 8, 2013 at 8:38 AM, Christophe Geuzaine <cgeuza...@ulg.ac.be> > wrote: > > Hi Riccardo - Could you send a complete test file?
