[Gmsh] gmsh bug in Circle ??

[Zenker, Dr. Matthias]

Hi,

as far as I see, your point coordinates are wrong, i.e. if point 2 is your center point, points 1 and 3 do not lie on the same circle. So it is no bug.
But indeed a warning would be helpful here.

Working example:

Point(4) = {-100, 0, 0, 1};
Point(5) = {0, 0, 0, 1};
Point(6) = {0, 100, 0, 1};
Circle(11) = {4, 5, 6};

HTH,

Matthias

Betreff: [Gmsh] gmsh bug in Circle ??

Dear,

I'm not entirely sure if I'm going mental now (:-s), but I'm trying to create a very simple circle :

lc = 1;
Point(1) = {0, 50, 0, lc};
Point(2) = {90.0,-42.0,0,lc };
Point(3) = {154.0,93.0,0,lc};
Circle(10) = {1, 2, 3};

However, for some bizarre reason, the circle doesn't go through my 3th point. See screenshot below... I have absolutely no idea what goes wrong here. Maybe I'm missing something ??? I don't really get any errors as well. I'm using gmsh 2.8.5 on windows 64 bit. But I've tried with the linux version as well, same problem. At first I though I had made some mistakes in some calculation I was doing before, but when I stripped everything down to the bare coorinates (see .geo above), I get the same error...

Many thanks for any light you can shine on this.

Kinds regards,
bino
