[Gmsh] Default characteristic length for opencascade models

[Jeremy Theler]

Hi all

How is the default characteristic length associated to the points of a
merged opencascade model (i.e. step, brep, etc). Say I have a .geo that
only contains

Merge "model.step";


How is the mesh size computed? Is there a way to define a "default
characteristic length"? So far what I am doing is

Characteristic Length { 1:10000 } = expression;

and expect the model to have less than ten thousand points.


Is there a cleaner way?
