<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#000000 size=2>I am currently working on developing a benchmark cantilever problem.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Using the non-interactive gmsh mode I am trying to generate a very fine mesh, I believe the easiest way to do this is by setting the global scaling factor for all the characteristic lengths.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>My command reads 'gmsh base.geo -3 -clscale 0.006' The error I get is 3 identical points in Qtest as shown below. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>If I run the -clscale as 0.007 the .msh file is produced.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Can you give me any help on this?</FONT></DIV>
