Hi,
I am a beginner.
While working on a larger 3D project I noticed some gaps and overlaps.
I plan to simulate the heat transfer.
I assume gaps and overlaps are to be avoided to get a good simulation. Correct?
I tracked down the origin of the gaps and overlaps and it seems to be the
extrude command causing the trouble.
The file below draws a rectangle with a round hole in the middle. In the hole a
ring (annulus) is drawn.
If I create the ring with the BooleanDifference command (difference of two
circles): all works fine. All triangles line up perfectly around the contact
line of ring and hole.
If I create the ring with the Extrude command, things don't line up.
Of course I could opt for the booleandifference command for this problem but:
* I cannot use this booleandifference solution in my 3D problem
* I can imagine these holes and overlaps also being produced in other
curved contact surfaces.
Is this a bug in GMSH or the be expected in more elaborate meshes?
How can it be resolved?
Thank you!
Bart
