Dear Gmsh,
I would like to create a cubic domain with a few complicated 3D shapes inside,
and produce a corresponding tetrahedral mesh. The domain boundaries of the cube
should be periodically conformal, e.g. each triangle on the surface with normal
-x should be equivalent to a triangle on the surface with normal +x under
translation along the x-axis.
Using google I have found a solution proposed earlier on this list:
http://onelab.info/pipermail/gmsh/2016/010305.html
The .geo code suggested in the above link produces a conformal tetrahedral mesh
of a cube using Transfinite surfaces and edges. It seems to work, but has a few
problems:
1) It completely ignores the value of the characteristic lengthscale variable
"lc", always splitting each edge in exactly 4 parts
2) The characteristic lengthscale changes depending on when index number of the
Transfinite Line. Currently it is 5. If one would set it to 14, each edge would
be split into exactly 25 segments. Why is that?
Hi,
see http://gmsh.info/doc/texinfo/gmsh.html#Structured-grids
Transfinite Line { expression-list } | "*" = expression < Using Progression | Bump
expression >;
Selects the lines in expression-list to be meshed with the 1D transfinite algorithm. The expression on the right hand side gives the number of nodes that
will be created on the line (this overrides any other mesh element size prescription—see Specifying mesh element sizes).
5 nodes -> four segments
Regards,
Dave
