<div dir="auto">Hello,
<div dir="auto"><br>
</div>
<div dir="auto">I was under the impression that CharacteristicLengthMax was used to control the mesh size in gmsh. However, I seem to he having some issues.</div>
<div dir="auto"><br>
</div>
<div dir="auto">In the attached python script, I read in some STL files that define surface. I then define some volumes and then mesh them. If I do not set CharacteristicLengthMax I get a volume mesh as shown in no-max.jpg. This is OK, but I would like some
more nodes within and around my heart. If I set CharacteristicLengthMax=0.5, then I get a similar mesh around the heart, but it is finer away from the heart (max-0-5.jpg). However, if I set CharacteristicLengthMax=0.05, then I appear to get rubbish, especially
around the heart (max-0-05.jpg).</div>
<div dir="auto"><br>
</div>
<div dir="auto">Clearly, I have missed something.</div>
<div dir="auto"><br>
</div>
<div dir="auto">I also tried to use a ball around the heart region, but that didn’t achieve anything. Given the above comments, I was unsure what to put in for VIN and VOUT.</div>
<div dir="auto"><br>
</div>
<div dir="auto">Any thoughts would be much appreciated.</div>
<div dir="auto"><br>
</div>
<div dir="auto">Thank you,</div>
<div dir="auto"><br>
</div>
