Hello,

I want to make a 3D structured mesh from this coil shape :

(It is a square extruded along a coil path)
I made it using FreeCAD, exported it in .iges file format. (also tried .step)

My issue is that I can't manage to make the 3D mesh with Gmesh. It looks like the Volume is not took into account.

Here is my .geo file, made automatically from the .iges import, and at the end, written by end :
I shortened the code defining the coil because the text was too long for the cfd-online forum engine. It builds the 2 square ends and 4 splines to make the coil.
EDIT : see the first reply under the post to read the complete definition: the issue may be there because gmsh defines the 2 squares using splines too instead of straight lines.
Code:
cl__1 = 1;
Point(1) = {35, -3.552713678801e-15, -3.552713678801e-15, cl__1};

Does your file specify any 3D elements (hex=5, prism=6, pyramid=7, tet=4)?
Perhaps you have not exported the 3D elements?

file: mesh/serpentin1Transfinite.msh at line 26352.

    From function readCells(..)
    in file gmshToFoam.C at line 726.

FOAM exiting
It seems that I did not correctly define the volume in the .geo file.
Any idea please ???

Is there an error using the lines
Surface Loop(1) = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6};
Volume(1) = {1};

?
Thank you very much for your reply

Hi,

In addition to geometric volume, you have to define physical volume. For example, you can add the following line to your geo-file:

Code:
Physical Volume("mesh") = {1};
and the result of gmshToFoam becomes:

Code:
...
Cells:
    total:83259
    hex  :83259
    prism:0
    pyr  :0
    tet  :0
...
