Dear Gmsh developers and users,<br><br><br><br>I am using Gmsh to build the
geometric model of an oil pipeline subjected to the electromagnetic
interference from a nearby high voltage transmission line.<br><br>After making an extrusion to build a surface corresponding to a quarter of the pipe cross-section with the command<br>
<br><i>Pipeline_Quarter_Section1[] = Extrude{ {1,0,0}, {0,Pipe_Center_Y,Pipe_Center_Z}, Pi/2} {Line{Pipe_Inner_Radius_Line1,Pipe_Thickness_Line1,Coating_Thickness_Line1}; Layers{Circunference_Discretization}; Recombine;};<br>
</i><br><br>I would like use the indentifiers of the entities generated
by this extrusion (the surface and a few lines) that became stored in
the list Pipeline_Quarter_Section1[] in further geometric
transformations.<br>However, the only way I could find to tell for
example that Pipeline_Quarter_Section1[3] stores the identifier of a
particular line (and not of a different one generated by the same
extrusion transformation) was trial and error...<br>
<br>Is it possible to predict the pattern of these vectors of entities
generated by Gmsh in such transformations? I have found a few hints at
the mesh tutorial t3.geo (<a href="http://www.geuz.org/gmsh/doc/texinfo/gmsh-full.html#SEC65" target="_blank">http://www.geuz.org/gmsh/doc/texinfo/gmsh-full.html#SEC65</a>), but it does not seem to cover all possible cases...<br>
<br>Would it also be possible to generate through the extrusion separated
lists of entities that do not mix lines, surfaces and volumes in an
unpredictable sequence?<br><br><br><br>Yours faithfully,<br><br>Lucas Blattner Martinho<br>
