[Gmsh] Gmsh error mesage

[David Colignon]

Hi,

a ruled surface is (roughly) a non-plane surface. Your geometry is purely 2D so you should only use "Plane Surface".
So with 

Plane Surface(169) = {103,104,105,106,107,108,109,110,111,112,113,114,115,116,117,118,119,120,121,122,123,124,125,126,127,128,129,130,131,132,133,134,135,136,137,138,139,140,141,142,143,144,145,146,147,148,149,150,151,152,153,154,155,156,157,158,159,160,161,162,163,164,165,166,167,168};

this error vanish.

Cheers,

Dave
