Hi,

I am very interested in this myself. I posted a similar question in November. 
Any ideas?

Best regards
Martin

Betreff: [Gmsh] Meshing a cube with HEX-dominated elements or prisms and 2 
different numbers of elements on 2 opposite sides

Hi,

Is it possible to mesh a cube (hexs or prims with 2 different numbers of 
elements on 2 opposite sides, like displayed on this picture (ABAQUS mesh swept 
algorithm)?
This is to create a transition zone between two hex-meshed zones of different 
densities. Lateral faces have to be quads to respect the connected hex meshes.
Preferably I would like to avoid Extrude in order to be able to mesh an 
imported BREP geometry with possibly non planar faces.

Many thanks,


Dominique Deloison

Hello again,



I got the desired result using an Extrusion:



cid:[email protected]



However, using Extrusion greatly disagrees with my modelling approach, since I 
create all required geometry (points, lines, surfaces, volumes) already in 
advance, before calling gmsh. Afterwards, I want to mesh the model with gmsh 
and  in a third step assign the created mesh to the existing geometry. Is there 
any way to create a (semi-)structured mesh using volumes already defined in my 
geo-file?



Best regards

Martin

Betreff: [Gmsh] Hex-Mesh problem



Hello,



I experience difficulties creating a pure or at least Hex-dominant mesh for the 
model in the text file. I tried a lot of solver options but even with the 
frontal algorithm and AllHexas subdivision algorithm I cannot get a proper 
mesh. Volume elements are only created for the left and right volume while the 
boundary surfaces of the middle volume are meshed but no volumes are created 
and different errors are thrown by gmsh, e.g.



“Cannot use frontal 3D algorithm with quadrangles on boundary” for frontal 3D



Is there any way that I am missing? Do I somehow have to mesh the middle volume 
first?



Best regards
