Hi Dave,
thanks for the tipp regarding the gui and using the options over
there. I had not worked with the gui before. I did some teste with
some modells and the different options. I need to work more to get
used to the gui of GMSH. Up to date it worked out well for some models.
I have a further question in this regard. What would be needed for
beam or solid meshes ?
beam meshes (or edge meshes) --> connect the edges where they share
the same vertice --> ?
shell mehes --> connect the faces where they share the same edge -->
-string "Geometry.OCCSewFaces=1;"
solid meshes (or volume meshes) --> connect the solids where they
share the same face --> ?
I could provide steps if needed.
Kind regards Bernd

Hi David,
thanks for the fast reply. It is what I would like to have connect
the faces if they share an edge. Yes the provided option
seams to do the trick.
-string "Geometry.OCCSewFaces=1;"
It worked on the simple provided part compound_of_faces.step and on
one with 10 faces beam-10faces.step. With bothe the FEA
worked out very well :-) On a more sophisticated part
mechanical-part.step it seam to work out too but I get non positive
jacobian during FEA, but that seams to be another part of the story.
Hi,
for more complicated parts, you should also open your step file
directly with Gmsh, and try the other options "Remove degenerated
edges and faces", "Remove small edges", ... in Tools -> Options ->
Geometry -> General and also look at the Info messages.
Regards,
Dave

I need to test on more examples. I will report back.
kind regards bernd

Hi Bernd,
can you try with adding the
-string "Geometry.OCCSewFaces=1;"
option ?
This should work with relatively simple geometries, i.e. faces
sharing a common line.
Regards,
Dave

Hi there,
This is my first post to the mailing list so I may introduce
myself first. The "identifier" given to
me by my parents is Bernd and this corresponds to what most
people call myself. The bred to feed
myself an my familiy I earn in an engineering office near Zuerich
in Switzerland. I'm structural
engineer in the building industry. In my spare time I develop on
the FEM Workbench and on the Arch
Workbench of the parametric open source cad plattform FreeCAD.
This is why I'm gone write to this list.
FreeCAD uses for internal parametric surface and solid meshing
netgen. AFAIK due to licence
incompatibility between FreeCAD and GMSH it has never been an
option to use GMSH instead. But there
exists a FreeCAD macro which uses the GMSH installed on ones
computer for meshing. Most users mainly
use this GMSH macro for meshing their models including myself.
The macro exports a *.step meshes
with GMSH and imports the *.unv mesh back into FreeCAD. Babbled
enought,the important part of the
post ...
I run into trouble with meshing compunds of faces. The faces
where not connected to each other and
thus a Finite Element Analysis will fail to work without manual
connection off all the faces of the
compund. As a example a very simple compund of just two faces is taken.
mesh command:
gmsh compound_of_faces.step -3 -format unv -o
compound_of_faces.unv -algo netgen -clmax 100,00
-order 2 -optimize
gmsh --version
2.8.5
on Debian Jesie
I was wondering if it is possible to tell GMSH to mesh a
connected Surface Mesh of a compund of faces?

Kind Regards and thanks to all people who have ever contributed
to GMSH development.
