Hello Theodore,
could you send me the stl files? If I manage to produce the mesh, I'll send
the geo file
to you.
Best regards,
Martin Vymazal

Hi Martin,
Thanks. Is this what you mean?
Merge "polygon.stl";Merge "ellipsoid.stl";
CreateTopology;
Physical Surface (1) = {1};Physical Surface (2) = {2};
I'm not sure what to do after this to remove the ellipsoid from the polygon?
Best regards,
Theodore

Hi Theodore,
you need to tell gmsh that the surface contains a hole. Define two line loops -
one for
the contour of the external polygon (say Line Loop 1) and one for the contour
of the
ellipse (say Line Loop 2). Then you define your surface for meshing as
Plane Surface(1) = {1,2}; // Subtract the interior of line loop 2
// from the interior of line loop 1
See section 5.1.3 in gmsh reference manual or tutorial 3 on gmsh website.
If you don't have any lines to create line loops from (since you're loading an
stl file),
take a look at 'CreateTopology'.

Hi,
I have an STL mesh consisting of an irregular ellipsoid in an irregular
polygon. When I
turn off 'surface faces' in the 'Options - Mesh', I can see the ellipsoid in
the polygon.
What I'd like to do is mesh just the containing polygon excluding the
ellipsoid, i.e.,
the final mesh will have a hole where the ellipsoid should be. How can I do
this in
gmsh?
