Hi Christophe,

Thanks for your crystal clear answer. Its leaves the options either create a converter from the current Plot3d P3D export (to plot3D XYZ) or to help with the CGNS structured export...

Cheers,

Guillaume

Hi Guillaume,

Indeed Gmsh handles most (if not all) meshes as unstructured. Our new CGNS 
importer now handles structured meshes as input ; but the exporter still 
currently exports even structured meshes as unstructured. We plan to add simple 
structured CGNS grids for our transfinite meshes - but it's not done yet. Any 
help with this would actually be welcome.

Best,

Christophe

Hello,

This is my first message on the mailing list, so please apologize any wandering 
off the Gmsh community culture ...

I want to create a structured/block-structured (obviously quads) surface mesh 
and export it to either Plot3D XYZ format or to CGNS structured format to use 
it as an input for another hyperbolic mesher.

Starting with a simple cube, I realized that:

- I could not find an exporter to Plot3D XYZ format (I yet have to see if the 
P3D export format can be converted to XYZ)

- even for a simple transfinite surface mesh on a cube face, I get an 
unstructured CGNS mesh when exported ('Unstructured' is in plain text in the 
exported file and the hyperbolic mesher complains about that since it expects a 
structured mesh).

Am I missing something or hitting a Gmsh limit?

Best regards,

Guillaume Florent (Yacht Design + Engineering)
