[Gmsh] GMSH to Elmer

[Zenker, Dr. Matthias]

Hi,

I would be surprised if your problem comes from numbering.
I rather think that you may have forgotten to define the volume of your cube as physical. If there are any physical groups defined, gmsh saves only those by default unless you check "save all (ignore physical groups)" when saving your mesh. What happens if you load the .msh file into gmsh?
Note that ElmerGUI doesn't display the volume mesh by default, you have to check "View->Volume mesh" in order to see it. Check "Model->Summary" to find out how the mesh import worked out.

HTH,

Matthias

Greetings,

I think I figured it out; I looked at the actual file,and saw that the numbers were all out of sequence. Most likely from when I edited it, but did not reload the model. So I started from scratch, and it seemed to work this time around.

Thanks again, and best regards,

Greetings,

I've just started using GMSH in conjunction with Elmer, and have encountered a problem for which I cannot find a solution. Whenever I import my GMSH model into Elmer, it ends up having only 1 surface, which is the entire model. So for example, say I make a cube in GMSH. I then 3D mesh it, then define physical groups by selecting each of the faces. I save as a MSH file with the default options (no boxes checked). I load it up into Elmer, and it only has 1 surface, which is the entire cube, irregardless of where I click.

What am I doing incorrect?

Thanks, and best regards,

-DA
