[Gmsh] Fields and Volume

[DILASSER Guillaume]

Hi Vincent,

I think you can simply add the statement “Mesh.CharacteristicLengthFromBoundary = 0 ;” somewhere in the script of your first model to solve the issue. This will force Gmsh not to use the characteristic length of the surface mesh when computing the volume mesh, but instead only rely on the fields you provide. Let me know if it worked,

Sincerely Yours,

Hello everyone,

I work with Gmsh 3.0.2

I have a cylinder inside a cube.
I want to refine the boundary of the cylinder.

To do so, I use a combination of MathEval fields.
If I declare the cylinder as a volume, it is meshed with very small elements.
If I do not declare the cylinder as a volume, only the region near the interface is correctly meshed.

How can I have both :
·         the cylinder as a volume
·         the reffinement near the interface ?

With the cylinder as a volume

h=0.1;

x=1;

y=1;

z=1;

ratio = 3.;

radius=Sqrt(2.*(x/ratio)^2);

distance=h;

p0 = newp; Point(p0) = {0,0,0,50*h};

pc = newp; Point(pc) = {0,0,-z,h};

p1 = newp; Point(p1) = {-x,-y,-z,h};

p2 = newp; Point(p2) = {-x, y,-z,h};

p3 = newp; Point(p3) = { x, y,-z,h};

p4 = newp; Point(p4) = { x,-y,-z,h};



r1 = newp; Point(r1) = {      0,  radius, -z, h};

r2 = newp; Point(r2) = { radius,       0, -z, h};

r3 = newp; Point(r3) = {      0, -radius, -z, h};

r4 = newp; Point(r4) = {-radius,       0, -z, h};



l1 = newl; Line(l1) = {p1,p2};

l2 = newl; Line(l2) = {p2,p3};

l3 = newl; Line(l3) = {p3,p4};

l4 = newl; Line(l4) = {p4,p1};



c1 = newl; Circle(c1) = {r1,pc,r2};

c2 = newl; Circle(c2) = {r2,pc,r3};

c3 = newl; Circle(c3) = {r3,pc,r4};

c4 = newl; Circle(c4) = {r4,pc,r1};



outer = newll; Line Loop(outer) = {l1,l2,l3,l4};

inner = newll; Line Loop(inner) = {c1,c2,c3,c4};

s1 = news; Plane Surface(s1) = {outer,-inner};

s2 = news; Plane Surface(s2) = {inner};



extruded[] = Extrude{0,0,2.*z} {

Surface{s1,s2};

};



Physical Point("center") = {p0};



Physical Volume("Omega1") = {extruded[1]};

Physical Volume("Omega2") = {extruded[11]};



Field[1] = MathEval;

Field[1].F = Sprintf("(Fabs(%g-Sqrt(x*x+y*y)))+%g/5",radius,h);

Field[2] = MathEval;

Field[2].F = "0.1";

Field[3] = Min;

Field[3].FieldsList = {1,2};

Background Field = 3;

With the reffinement I target

h=0.1;

x=1;

y=1;

z=1;

ratio = 3.;

radius=Sqrt(2.*(x/ratio)^2);

distance=h;

p0 = newp; Point(p0) = {0,0,0,50*h};

pc = newp; Point(pc) = {0,0,-z,h};

p1 = newp; Point(p1) = {-x,-y,-z,h};

p2 = newp; Point(p2) = {-x, y,-z,h};

p3 = newp; Point(p3) = { x, y,-z,h};

p4 = newp; Point(p4) = { x,-y,-z,h};



r1 = newp; Point(r1) = {      0,  radius, -z, h};

r2 = newp; Point(r2) = { radius,       0, -z, h};

r3 = newp; Point(r3) = {      0, -radius, -z, h};

r4 = newp; Point(r4) = {-radius,       0, -z, h};



l1 = newl; Line(l1) = {p1,p2};

l2 = newl; Line(l2) = {p2,p3};

l3 = newl; Line(l3) = {p3,p4};

l4 = newl; Line(l4) = {p4,p1};



c1 = newl; Circle(c1) = {r1,pc,r2};

c2 = newl; Circle(c2) = {r2,pc,r3};

c3 = newl; Circle(c3) = {r3,pc,r4};

c4 = newl; Circle(c4) = {r4,pc,r1};



outer = newll; Line Loop(outer) = {l1,l2,l3,l4};

inner = newll; Line Loop(inner) = {c1,c2,c3,c4};

s1 = news; Plane Surface(s1) = {outer};

//s2 = news; Plane Surface(s2) = {inner};



extruded[] = Extrude{0,0,2.*z} {

Surface{s1};

};



Physical Point("center") = {p0};



Physical Volume("Omega1") = {extruded[1]};

//Physical Volume("Omega2") = {extruded[11]};



Field[1] = MathEval;

Field[1].F = Sprintf("(Fabs(%g-Sqrt(x*x+y*y)))+%g/5",radius,h);

Field[2] = MathEval;

Field[2].F = "0.1";

Field[3] = Min;

Field[3].FieldsList = {1,2};

Background Field = 3;

All the best,
