How to get Gmsh hex mesh for "2-D" simulation in OF?

Hi,
I am having difficulties trying to do a mesh for a good 2-D OF solution from Gmsh. Because my domain is not so simple, I cannot use blockMesh. The next best is Gmsh, IMHO. To get an OF 2-D mesh, I used: Extrude { x,x,x}{ Surface {xxx} ; Layers{1,1}; Recombine; } I just learned last week that if I recombine a transfinite surface before the extrusion, I can get quad elements which solved much better than the prism elements. But I would like to use the unstructured mesh and extrude as above but create hex elements. This doesn't seem possible because the third direction is also divided which give 2 Layers and therefore is not considered as a 2-D problem anymore. As a 3-D problem it is solvable but it takes a very long time with my setup. My question is : is it possible to remove the second mesh layer after the meshing is done or is it possible to prevent the third dimension to be divided before meshing? |
