[Gmsh] ellipsoid issue

[Peter Johnston]

Hello,

I am trying to create some ellipsoids in 3D and came across this solution:


SetFactory("OpenCASCADE");
Sphere(1) = {0, 0, 0, 0.5};
Dilate {{0, 0, 0}, {1.5, 1, 0.5}} { Volume{1}; }
Characteristic Length{:} = 0.1;
Mesh.Algorithm = 6;

This was posted on the webpage http://onelab.info/pipermail/gmsh/2018/011986.html,however, the example appears to be generating one-point curves and so the meshing is failing.

I am using gmsh 4.4.1. I would be grateful for any suggestions and/or advice. I used a similar script before and not had this issue.

Thanks very much,

Peter.
