Hi Zacharie,<br>
Your first possibility will work if you add to your file:<br>
Mesh.CharacteristicLengthFromPoints = 1 ;<br>
Mesh.CharacteristicLengthExtendFromBoundary = 0 ;<br>
<br>
By default, the second option is set to one, that's the reason why
you don't see the effect of the field you are trying to apply.<br>
<br>
Regards,<br>
Ruth<br>

Dear all,<br>
<br>
I would like to mesh a circular conductor in order to follow the
skin effect, i.e. with a fine mesh in the skin depth and a
coarser mesh in the centre of the conductor :<br>
<br>
Point(1) = {0, 0, 0};<br>
Point(2) = {0.1, 0, 0};<br>
Point(3) = {0, 0.1, 0};<br>
Point(4) = {-0.1, 0, 0};<br>
Point(5) = {0, -0.1, 0};<br>
<br>
Circle(1) = {2, 1, 3};<br>
Circle(2) = {3, 1, 4};<br>
Circle(3) = {4, 1, 5};<br>
Circle(4) = {5, 1, 2};<br>
Line Loop(5) = {2, 3, 4, 1};<br>
Plane Surface(6) = {5};<br>
<br>
I have two possibilities in mind:<br>
<br>
1 . Using Line attractors on the circle arcs:<br>
<br>
Field[1]=Attractor;<br>
Field[1].NNodesByEdge = 50;<br>
Field[1].EdgesList={1,2,3,4};<br>
<br>
Field[2] = Threshold;<br>
Field[2].IField = 1;<br>
Field[2].LcMin = 0.005;<br>
Field[2].LcMax = 0.01;<br>
Field[2].DistMin = 0.02;<br>
Field[2].DistMax = 0.04;<br>
<br>
Background Field = 2;<br>
<br>
This solution does not seem to work (I get a 0.005 mesh
everywhere)<br>
<br>
2. Using a point attractor :<br>
<br>
Is it possible to define some kind of "inverse" attractor at the
centre of the circle, i.e. with a coarser mesh near the
attractor and finer at near surface of the circle ?<br>
<br>
<br>
Thank you very much in advance.<br>
<br>
Best regards,<br>
