2016-05-11 Thread Bernd Hahnebach
Dear gmsh folks, attache a coarse hexa first order mesh. I'd like to get an second orde hexa mesh out of this. I found the hight order tools can be used to create the appropriate nodes for a second order hexa mesh. But how do I create elements out of the nodes. kind regards bernd b5__h

More informations in this regard ... - open file b5__hexa8_coarse.msh - in GMSH Tree click on Mesh --> Set order 2 - Menue Tools --> Options --> Mesh --> Visibility --> activate Nodes - It seams we have got a second order mesh ?! - Menue Tools --> Visibility --> Numeric --> click on hide element

Found the culprit :-) but it does not solve my problem :-( If either "Mesh --> set Order 2" or "Mesh -> Hight order tools" is used on a hexahedron8 it does not make a hexahedron20 but a hexahedron27 instead. Means a node is not only made on any edge center point but on any face center point
