Hi guys,<br>
<br>
All 3 cases work for me with Gmsh 4.4... (Some earlier versions had indeed an issue with preseance of mesh size specs on points with OCC.)<br>
<br>
Here is a 4th method, which IMHO gives an even nicer result:<br>
<br>
// **************<br>
SetFactory("OpenCASCADE");<br>
Rectangle(1) = {-0.7, -0.2, 0, 1, 0.5, 0.1};<br>
<br>
Point(9) = {-0.39, 0.21, 0, 1.0};<br>
Point(10) = {-0.25, 0.14, 0, 1.0};<br>
Point(11) = {-0.12, -0.05, 0, 1.0};<br>
Point(12) = {-0.03, 0.12, 0, 1.0};<br>
Point(13) = {0.14, 0.12, 0, 1.0};<br>
Spline(9) = {9, 10, 11, 12, 13};<br>
<br>
BooleanFragments{ Surface{1}; Delete; }{ Curve{9}; Delete; }<br>
<br>
Field[1] = Distance;<br>
Field[1].NNodesByEdge = 200;<br>
Field[1].EdgesList = {9};<br>
<br>
Field[2] = Threshold;<br>
Field[2].IField = 1;<br>
Field[2].LcMin = 0.005;<br>
Field[2].LcMax = 0.05;<br>
Field[2].DistMin = 0.01;<br>
Field[2].DistMax = 0.1;<br>
<br>
Background Field = 2;<br>
<br>
Mesh.Algorithm = 6;<br>
Mesh.CharacteristicLengthExtendFromBoundary = 0;<br>
// **************<br>
<br>

> I was able to get your script to work using the PointsOf function with the curve to specify the characteristic length. I also was able to directly list the tags in the characteristic length call, but only after removing the 1.0 characteristic length parameter that was the fourth argument to the Point initialization calls. In contrast, PointsOf seems to work even when the length is specified earlier. Perhaps there is a subtle difference somewhere between PointsOf and directly listing tags for this command? I've named the two working cases A (using PointsOf) and B (directly specifying the tags without setting the characteristic length earlier).<br>
