<DIV><FONT face="MS UI Gothic" size=2>Dear professor,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="MS UI Gothic" size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="MS UI Gothic" size=2>I am a student new to Gmsh.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="MS UI Gothic" size=2>My OS is WinXP SP2,current Gmsh version is
1.58.0.(package:gmsh-1.58.0-Windows downloaded from <A
href="http://www.geuz.org/gmsh/">http://www.geuz.org/gmsh/</A> on Jan. 10th
2005)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="MS UI Gothic" size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="MS UI Gothic" size=2>When I was using Gmsh to draw a
simple geometry which is a 3D cube like shape with the exception that the
value of height( Z axis value) is very small compared with both
the width and length, there was some unpleasant thing happened. During the
"Add elements"</FONT> <FONT face="MS UI Gothic" size=2>process (I mean when
adding new lines and surfaces),I had to use the "Shift key & mouse" to
zoom the corresponding parts in case of that I was able to choose
the very short lines that I wanted.However, during the process, Gmsh
automatically qiuted without any warning message, after that I had to restart
Gmsh, the same thing happened again several times.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="MS UI Gothic" size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="MS UI Gothic" size=2>I am wondering what was the reason,since I
only have one "Cygwin1.dll"on my system,(but I didnot work under the
/home/user/directory instead of working under the directoy on cygdrive/c/ where
the Gmsh.exe exsits.). Would you mind teaching me what is the possible reason
and how to deal with it.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="MS UI Gothic" size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="MS UI Gothic" size=2>Frankly speaking, Gmsh is a perfect
package for drawing and meshing,the working process are both intuitive
and heuristic even though I have no experience on CAD system. I hope
if flexiable zoom function will be added to the GUI menu in
the future version and it zooms the region only necessary. At the same
time, I want to read part of the *.msh file info. to generate a new text based
mesh info. file for my program. I read the Gmsh instruction manual and
understood the meaning of differient byte-segment in the .msh file. Is there
somewhat simple method to extract only the node coordinate info. and final mesh
element info by using Java.Would you mind giving me some advices.</FONT></DIV>
