Unable to use gmsh generated mesh

teja781 · December 4, 2023, 11:28pm

Hello,

I am trying to work with a 3D mesh generated by gmsh with refinement in the area of interest. gmsh is able to create the mesh successfully but I get an error message while trying to get it to work with fenicsx with the model_to_mesh command of gmshio. Here is the python code and the generated output.

I think that (at least one of) the issue is calling gmsh.model.addPhysicalGroup after gmsh.model.mesh.generate.

If I change the final part of the if statement to be:

    ....

    gmsh.model.mesh.field.setAsBackgroundMesh(2)
    gmsh.option.setNumber("Mesh.Algorithm", 5)

    """
    surfaceEntities = gmsh.model.getEntities(dim=2)
    for e in surfaceEntities:
        tag = e[1]
        nodeTags, nodeCoords, nodeParams = gmsh.model.mesh.getNodes(2, tag)
        if np.isclose(nodeCoords[0],-0.5) and nodeCoords[1]>0:gmsh.model.addPhysicalGroup(2,[tag],left_top_marker)
        elif np.isclose(nodeCoords[0],-0.5) and nodeCoords[1]<0:gmsh.model.addPhysicalGroup(2,[tag],left_bottom_marker)
        else:continue
    """

    gmsh.model.addPhysicalGroup(3,[1],1)
    gmsh.model.mesh.generate(3)

I do not get any error, while I do get an error if swapping the last two lines in my snippet.

Unfortunately, requiring gmsh.model.mesh.generate to be the last call means that I had to comment the part of your code related to gmsh.model.addPhysicalGroup(2, because one of gmsh.model.getEntities or gmsh.model.mesh.getNodes seems to require the mesh to be available. I don’t understand what is supposed to happen there, but I would suggest to have a look if it was possible to rewrite this in an equivalent way that makes use of the ids you get from gmsh.model.geo.add* calls.

Thank you for your reply! In the portion that you commented out I am adding physicalGroups using the node coordinates on the surface which is why I put them after generating the mesh. It seems like a strange limitation that I won’t be able to do that for the mesh to be compatible with dolfinx.

I’ve changed the code to add all the physical groups using bounding_box of surfaces, before mesh generation and it works now.

Here is the working code.

The dolfinx.gmshio uses Gmsh Python API to extract the mesh and corresponding markers.
This is then a limitation in how Gmsh treats physical groups.

Since you are doing this directly with mesh nodes, why not do it once the mesh has been read into dolfinx instead?

teja781 · December 5, 2023, 6:36pm

Yes, that would be a more general solution for something like this. Since I’ve already managed to solve this issue for now, I’ll keep that in mind for the future.

Thank you!
