*create your U as edges
*create your pipe section (surface) *place one extremity of your edges-chain at center from your surface *create the volumes by sweeping your surface with edges (Volume/sweep surface)

Thanky you max for your valuable reply. I am beginner with Gambit may you send me a JOU file for the steps you mentioned this will be more helpful to me.

max thanks for your effort. I failed to sweep the faces into volume, I chose face 1 & 3 and select path as edge I chose edge 12 then after i press apply this error appear to me:
ERRor: The chain to be swept is parallel to the path what i can do then? is my selecting of faces wrong? Mariam |

did you run the journal file?
it should create your pipe automatically

hi again max I failed to find the shaded mode that you mentioned? may you send me illustrated picture for it ? Should I do this step before running the journal file to get the volume?

Is it available with the sweap option or you mean with it the neighbor block? if the second there are several options to draw the volume like that appear on the image (see it pls) which one should i select to draw the volume? sorry to bother u

As you saw there is only one generatrice (line linking the 2 disks)
It will crash the mesh. So you can create a second generatrice. > edge split "edge.13" percentarclength 0.5 connected > edge split "edge.10" percentarclength 0.5 connected it will split the circle into 2 semi-circles, with a vertex in the middle Then split the surface with the 2 vertex. >face split "face.2" vertices "vertex.13" "vertex.14" Then you can go and mesh your volume (spacing 5), gambit will automatically select cooper scheme

max may you sent me the first journal file with adding the last steps. An error happened while i split face 2 with vertices 13 and 14?
Thanks again Mariam |
