[Gmsh] Gmsh crashes wile creating a mesh

[Moritz Nadler]

Hallo,

I am new to Gmsh and failing to create new first own mesh:

I have written this .geo file:

clHigh = 0.00001;
clLow = 0.001;
Point(1) = {0,0,0,clLow};
Point(2) = {0.06,0,0,clLow};
Point(3) = {0.06,0.04025,0,clLow};
Point(4) = {0,0.04025,0,clLow};
Point(5) = {0.02,0.02,0,clHigh};
Point(6) = {0.04,0.02,0,clHigh};
Point(7) = {0.04,0.02025,0,clHigh};
Point(8) = {0.02,0.02025,0,clHigh};
Line(1) = {1,2};
Line(2) = {2,3};
Line(3) = {3,4};
Line(4) = {4,1};
Line(5) = {5,6};
Line(6) = {6,7};
Line(7) = {7,8};
Line(8) = {8,5};
Line Loop(9) = {3,4,1,2};
Line Loop(10) = {7,8,5,6};
Plane Surface(11) = {9,10};


this looks a bit like:

0--------------0
0              0
0              0
0   0======0   0
0              0
0              0
0--------------0

if I load this file with the Gmsh GUI and click on mesh->2D (or 1D)
Gmsh uses ALL my memory (2 GB) and then fills my hole swap partition (1.4 GB) and then gets killed 
automatically be the OS ( Ubuntu linux 8.04)

Does anyone know what to do to the this geo file meshed?

thanks in advance for any help and
kind regards
