Dear Sirs, I am writing you because I have a problem trying to make FreeCAD (opensource software for CAD drawing http://www.freecadweb.org/ ) and GMSH working together. More specifically, my idea is to create a surface in FreeCAD, save it as *.stl and then open it in GMSH to have the volumetric mesh.
Well, so far it has not work and I wonder if any of you have had the same problem. The steps I am doing are this ones: - Create the surface in FreeCAD and save it as *.stl; as example I have created a cylindrical surface in FreeCAD and attached it to the email. The *.stl is saved in binary format from FreeCAD and i have noted that the resolution is really poor. - Given the poor resolution, I would like to remesh the stl file in gmsh before creating the volumetric mesh. To do this, I have followed the tutorial about stl remeshing. I attach to the email the *.geo script I used to remesh. The problem is that the stl file is not remeshed at all. Any help? Another question: has anybody imported CAD draws in GMSH? If yes, with which software were they created? Many thanks for the help, Regards, Paolo Tricerri
