Thank you very much for your work, it's great and detailed!. By the way, I want to make a dynamic mesh (running vehicle), do you know which tool is good for that?
I am trying to create a 2D mesh in Gmesh. The geometry has 2 different plans (x,y, and x,z) at the same mesh. I draw it via AutoCAD and imported it in Gmesh using it as a step file. Now, I am trying to define a surface but in vain, it selects the boundaries but does not keep it as a surface (there is no e option, only q) . unfortunately I cannot attach a screenshot here
I am not a regular user, but I would guess in this case that there is something wrong with the closed surface. I would suggest that you try something simpler before importing the geometry. That way you could divide and conquer (solution strategy) to find the problem. Good luck!
Hello, thanks for the tutorials! they are pretty nice and clear, I have two questions, 1. in the part 4, you created the boundaries from planes that were created from the geometry module, if we import a step file (as in tutorial 3) we should do the same workflow? 2. would it be possible to do a tutorial of a python scripting in gmsh where we import a step model, create three boundaries inlet, outlet and walls by creating the inlet and outlet by using a plane and then the wall boundary as the rest of the faces, and then do a meshing and exporting it? best regards

Thank you! It was very helpful about the basics of gmsh.
