Thank you,

That fixed the problem!

Hi Christophe,

In my actual structure, it is unknown whether or not it will be split. There will also be many more volumes with different tags.

I also do not want "air" to contain any of "gate".

How do I get all volumes created from the BooleanDifference into the same Physical Volume?


Use the list (note the "()") returned by the boolean command :

air()=BooleanDifference{Volume{air}; Delete;}{ Volume{gate};};

Recursive Delete{Volume{unit_box};}
BooleanFragments{ Volume{air()}; Volume{gate}; Delete;}{}

Physical Volume ("gate") = {gate};
Physical Volume ("air") = {air()};

Juan

Using the latest Mac OS snapshot, it is the same behavior.

3 sections appear (air, gate, air)

I go into the visibility dialog, visualize both "gate" and "air", and the last "air" disappears.

I think you are misunderstanding the definition of physical groups. Your boolean operations create 3 elementary volumes : left, center and right. You put the left one in the physical group "air" and the middle one in "gate". (Note that your boolean operations are unnecessarily complicated - you could just fragment the 2 boxes instead of doing a difference followed by a fragment.) So if you select the 2 physical groups, indeed you hide the right volume...
If I mesh before opening the visibility dialog, all 3 sections get meshed.

Normal again: by default with the MSH2 format Gmsh only saves elements that belong to physical groupe.
When I save the mesh, and then open the mesh file, one of the "air" sections is missing.


Starting over:

If I open the visibility dialog, and select both physical groups, one of the "air" sections disappear.

Looking in the Elementary entities, it appears that there are 3 volumes.  It looks like one of the "air" sections did not get assigned to the Physical Group.

How do I ensure that both "air" sections get assigned to the same Physical Group?

Physical Group ("air") = {3,4};

Dear Juan,
Not sure what you observe - your file seems to behave normally with the latest version. Can you try with the latest automated snapshot ?

Hello,

I am using the OpenCASCADE factory to create a fairly complicated structure.  In this simplified test case, I run into the issue where part of the structure disappears when the center of it is removed.

When GMSH opens the file, it looks correct.  Then when I start manipulating it in the Visibility dialog, half of the "air" volume disappears.

When 3d meshing half of the "air" volume is also missing.

When I reopen the saved mesh, half the "air" volume is also missing.

Could someone please take a look?


Regards,

Juan Sanchez
