Dear GMSH developer and user,

for a HiWi job at the FAU Erlangen-Nürnberg we're using GMSH in PYTHON for meshing representative elementary volume (RVEs).

Therefore we have a box (2D) with circular inclusions. For the following FE simulation, we need periodicity at the boundary.

I was trying to use: gmsh.model.mesh.setPeriodic(dim=2, [rveLine1], [rveLine3], affineTransform)
with an affine transform matrix np.array(([1., 0., 0., 0.,
                                           0., 1. 0., 0.,
                                           0., 0., 1., 0.,
                                           0., 0., 0., 1.]), float)

Or is it a good approach setting each point on the boundary to handle the desired number of elements on the boundary by oneself?

Could you help me set up the affine transform matrix (is there an example?) or are there any other and better way to get periodicity at the boundary?

Thanks a lot for your support in advance.

Kind regards,
