[Gmsh] Structured mesh of a STEP part

[Zenker, Dr. Matthias]

Hi,

difficult to say without more information.

I don't know what you mean by saying
> Do I have to set the transfinite line for each line of the part and be
> sure that the numer of element by segment is correct, or there is an
> easier way to do so?

If your mesh file has more than one volume, you should check "Cut and merge faces" under Options->Geometry->General before opening the STEP file, otherwise you will get duplicated interfaces. If that doesn't work, you have a problem.

HTH,

Matthias
