Hi all,

I have used "surfaceMeshTriangulate" in order to remesh.
So I did:

surfaceMeshTriangulate . mycase res.stl


It works and I have this file (in fact it's just an extract of the whole file, otherwise the message is too long):

solid entree
facet normal 0 0 -1
outer loop
vertex -0.0451229 0.0174211 0.11
vertex -0.0531569 0.0222913 0.11
vertex -0.0456122 0.0267491 0.11
endloop
endfacet
facet normal 0 0 -1
outer loop
vertex -0.0537543 0.0327313 0.11
vertex -0.0456122 0.0267491 0.11
vertex -0.0531569 0.0222913 0.11
endloop
endfacet
[...]

vertex -0.0702888 0.000965258 0.269
endloop
endfacet
endsolid sortie



So my problem is that I can not remesh (by GMSH), because it shows me only the first face (here it's "entree"), and doesn't show me the others surfaces (e.g. "sortie")

How can I rebuilt all the surface (in order to remesh)?
How gmsh can show me all my patches?

I have tryed to removed the words "solid sortie", "endsolid sortie" and just keep the patch "entree", and it works: Gmsh can recognize several patches in the same time. But this process is too manual! I think that there is a better way to do it.


I need some help
could anyone give me a hand?

Cheers,

Lam
