It sounds to me like you're merely performing a 2D mesh. Both in the GUI and on the command line, you can select the option to mesh a 3D volume. Have a look at the screencast http://geuz.org/gmsh/screencasts/ to see how a volume is meshed in 3D.
It is possible too that you simply haven't defined any volumes (even though to the user it might seem that you have a volume). Make sure to define at least one "Volume" in the geometry, as described in the tutorial. 2014-07-08 8:10 GMT+02:00 Edoardo Artioli <[email protected]>: > Hello, > > I am trying to mesh the ACAD attached file ciccio2.iges 27-node > hexahedrons, namely I would like to mesh a 3D volume element, BUT Gmsh only > meshes its boudary surface with triangles, i.e. a 2D surface, which is not > what I want. > > Can you help me out, please ? > > Thank you. > > Kind regards, > > Edoardo > > > > -- > > Edoardo Artioli, PhD > > DICII – Department of Civil Engineering and Computer Science > > University of Rome – Tor Vergata > > Via del Politecnico 1 > > 00133 Rome > > ITALY > > e-mail: [email protected] > > phone: (+39) 06 7259 7014 > > fax: (+39) 06 7259 7005 > > > > _______________________________________________ > gmsh mailing list > [email protected] > http://www.geuz.org/mailman/listinfo/gmsh > > -- Oliver Willekens PhD Student [image: LCP group logo] <https://lcp.elis.ugent.be/> Liquid Crystals & Photonics Group Sint- Pietersnieuwstraat 41 9000 Gent Phone: +32 9 264.89.51
