Hello,<br><br>at first: Gmsh is a very nice tool, and I like it much.<br>But there is a question for which I haven't found an answer yet:<br>I want to create a 2D surface mesh (triangles only) of a closed, parameterized shape. The shape is known analytically in the form z (x, y), actually it is the membrane shape of a red blood cell. How can I do this using Gmsh?<br><br>Thank you very much and best regards,<br>Timm Krüger<br><br>_____________________<br><br>Timm Krüger<br>Max-Planck-Institut für Eisenforschung (MPIE)<br>Microstructure Physics and Metal Forming<br>Max-Planck-Str. 1 / 40237 Düsseldorf, Germany<br>phone: +49 (0)211 6792 892<br>fax: +49 (0)211 6792 404<br>web: www.mpie.de<br>-------------------<br>Further affiliation<br>-------------------<br>Interdisciplinary Center for Advanced Materials Simulation (ICAMS)<br>Scale Bridging Thermodynamic and Kinetic Simulation<br>Ruhr University Bochum<br>Stiepeler Str. 129 / 44780 Bochum, Germany<br>web: www.icams.ruhr-uni-bochum.de<BR />
