Dear All,

I mesh a circular pipe in Gmsh very coarsely as below.


But when I set the order of the element as 2 in Gmsh and convert it into .xml and then .vtu file to visualize the spectral mesh in Paraview via Nektar, I got error messages like the following:

*/Warning: Level 0 assertion violation/**/
/**/3D deformed Jacobian not positive (element ID = 715) (first vertex ID = 388)/*/

/and got the following distorted mesh in Paraview:



I recognized that this is a problem about characteristic length parameter. In my .geo files, I set it as 1. However, I didn't understand ito which value do I have to increase or decrease this parameter. I read the manual of gmsh but couldn't clearly understand the relation between characteristic length and mesh. Can you please give a brief information about this?

Regards,
Kamil
