[Gmsh] Meshing issue in gmsh

[smenon at caltech.edu]

Hello Christophe,

I am a post-doctoral researcher and am using Gmsh to do some meshing for
me. I am having an issue when doing a 3D mesh of a section of a sphere
with the error message being: "Incompatible surface 22 in transfinite
volume 28". Would you know what would be the problem causing this error?

Thanks in advance.

This is my .geo file:

lc = 0.005;
length = 0.01;	 //chamber radius/sqrt(2)

Point(1) = {0,0,0,lc};
Point(2) = {length,length,-length,lc};
Point(3) = {-length,length,-length,lc};
Point(4) = {-length,-length,-length,lc};
Point(5) = {length,-length,-length,lc};

Circle(6) = {3,1,2};
Circle(7) = {2,1,5};
Circle(8) = {5,1,4};
Circle(9) = {4,1,3};

Line(14) = {5, 1};
Line(15) = {2, 1};

Transfinite Line {13, 14, 15, 16} = 10 Using Progression 1;

Woutlet = 26;
