Thank you Christophe for this quick answer!
What do you mean by setting the size directly? Is there another way I can set all shapes to be hexs instead of tets? I looked it up in the Archives but couldn't find.

Thank you

Hi,
I am using GMSH 4.5.6 to generate a 3d mesh. I used the following 2 lines in the .geo file to ensure that no element would have a jac.<0.

Mesh.ElementOrder = 2;
Mesh.HighOrderOptimize = 1;

It unfortunately didn't work for me. The mesh is generated, but the software failed (froze). Is there another way I can force all jacobians to be positive when creating my mesh?


It works fine here. However you should remove "Mesh.SubdivisionAlgorithm = 2;" (and set the sizes you want directly), as this makes it harder for the optimizer.

You can also use "Mesh.HighOrderOptimize = 2;", which will apply a global elastic smoothing step before the brute-force optimization.

Thank you,
