<div dir="ltr">Hi Bernd!<br><br><br>Gmsh can assign a characteristic mesh length to nodes. If from FreeCAD you can identify the number of the nodes that surround the solids (or faces) then you can assign them different lengths. For the heat sink example, nodes 1-8 correspond to the outer box. So you can do:<br><br>Merge "heat_sink.brep";<br><br>For n In {1:8}<br> Characteristic Length { n } = 50;<br>EndFor<br><br>For n In {9:97}<br> Characteristic Length { n } = 5;<br>EndFor<br><br><br>Does that work for you?<br><br>--<br>jeremy<div dir="ltr"><br><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr">On Sat, Jul 30, 2016 at 1:41 PM Bernd Hahnebach <<a href="mailto:gmsh@b75.ch" target="_blank">gmsh@b75.ch</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">I use CompSolids to make volume meshes which are glued together on<br>
