Hi Daniel,
The Extrude command works primarily with geometry objects and not mesh objects. It can be used to Extrude mesh elements (for example using the "Layer" option) but only if you are extruding them alongside the supporting geometry. That is why you are able to work with the Gmsh "mesh" (you extrude the geometry and the mesh follows) but not the imported Brep. If you can, I would suggest you to build the 2D geometry to be extruded within Gmsh instead of importing it, it would save a lot of trouble… Nevertheless, I imagine you do have a good reason, if that is the case let me know. Sincerely Yours, Guillaume DILASSER Doctorant SACM / LEAS CEA - Centre de Saclay - Bât.123 - PC 319c 91191 Gif sur Yvette Cedex - France - [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> -----Message d'origine----- De : gmsh [mailto:[email protected]] De la part de Daniel Envoyé : vendredi 3 mars 2017 21:11 À : [email protected] Objet : [Gmsh] Extrude from imported geometry Hi, Even with the most simple example, I am not able to extrude a mesh from an imported .brep geometry (see attachment). I always get an error message like: Error : Impossible to extrude entity 1 (of type 306) Extruding from native gmsh geometry works fine. Is the Extrude command not supported for imported geometry, or am I doing something wrong? Best Regards Daniel
