Hi Felix, Yes a ruled surface that is not flat.
I did what you explained. Recombine + 1 st order But Gmsh gives non-flat quadrangular mesh elements since the four points of an element are not in a same plane. All the elements are composed of two triangles with different normals (see attached file). Is Gmsh is able to do what I want? or Do I need a trick to get quadrangular mesh with flat faces? I though transform my ruled curved surfaces into multiple plane surfaces approximating my real geometry but it might not be so simple. ________________________________ De : Felix Salazar <[email protected]> Envoyé : jeudi 7 juillet 2016 20:13:38 À : Julien ERCOLANELLI Cc : [email protected] Objet : Re: [Gmsh] Quadrangular mesh with flat faces from ruled surface You mean a ruled surface that isn't flat itself? Recombine the mesh for that surface to get the quads. And pay attention to specify 1st order elements in the mesh options. If you want structured quads, check the documentation and the tutorials to get the transfinite lines and surfaces. You should get a non-planar surface with flat first order elements.

Is there a way to mesh a ruled surface with flat quadrangular faces?
