Hello,

I want to vary the element size over a surface. More specifically I want to geometrically increase the element size with increasing distance from the boundary. I tried to use the boundary layer option but this did not work, as the surface shape is nontrivial and the edge length has also to vary along the boundary.

Therefore I first generate an initial mesh, then compute the local element size at the interior points of the initial mesh, add the interior points of the initial mesh to the geometry file and finally generate a second mesh.

Unfortunately the points of the first mesh are also vertices of the second mesh, thus the element size of the second mesh cannot be lower than that of the first mesh. I tried to add the points to an attractor field, but gmsh displayed following warning and crashes:

Error   : Wrong mesh element size lc = 0 (lcmin = 0, lcmax = 1e+22)

Attached a trivial example reproducing the behaviour. Any help is appreciated.

Kind regards,
