Is this expected behaviour?<br><br>Running any of these commands produces empty meshes or error messages:<br>gmsh -3 Sphere_1.brep<br>gmsh -3 Sphere_1.stl<br>gmsh -3 Sphere_1.step<br>gmsh -3 Sphere_1.iges<br><br>Is the reason that a sphere has no edges? If yes, what steps are required to save geometries with spherical boundaries in Salome and to create a 3D tetrahedral mesh for them using Gmsh?<br><br>Btw, creating a Box in Salome and have Gmsh create a 3D mesh for this box works fine.<br><br>Thanks<br>Jan<br></div>
