<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">Dear All</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">I am currently working on my MSc Thesis at
Cranfield University (UK) about Open Source and CFD, and Gmsh is one of the
software packages I am evaluating. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">My problem is that the startpoint for the
comparartive is a mesh developed in Gambit. It is a quite big file, with around
500000 cells and 34 Mb. The format file is .msh, but Gmsh is not able to open
it (even though it opens .msh). </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">Does anyone know what the problem might be?
Is there a way to convert the file to something readible by Gmsh, if
possible in open source? Is the size of the file or the number of cells a
limitation?</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><br><span lang="EN-GB"></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">I also tried to do the mesh from scratch on Gmsh, including the geometry. I got a mesh but if I try to refine it the program crashes. Changing the options in the characteristic length does not have any effect, it generates exactly the same mesh. Does anyone know something about this?</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB"> <br></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">Thank you in advanced for your help</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">Kind regards</span></p>
