The final mesh contains different physical tags: inlet, outlet, wall, lumenVolume (and also for FSI: outerWall, wallVolume, inletRing, outletRings).ĭifferent examples on how to use this Gmsh’s Centerline Field can be found on the Gmsh wiki - use ‘gmsh’ as username and passwd. Use the command line ‘‘gmsh file.geo -3’’ to create the CFD or FSI mesh. If the close-volume operator is chosen, then a closed volume is created and Gmsh is able to create a volume mesh. Extrude in the outward direction a vessel wallįield.nbElemLayer = 4 //number of layersįield.hLayer = 0.2 // extrusion thickness given as percent of vessel radiusĪs can be seen, three centerline-based operators can be defined: (1) a close-volume operator that creates and mesh the inlet and outlet faces of the tubular geometry, (2) a vessel wall model generation that extrudes the mesh in the outward direction, (3) a remeshing tool that creates a new surface mesh starting from the initial triangulation. This tool is based on the centerlines of the tubular geometry that is computed with VMTK using the following command:įield.nbPoints = 25 //number of mesh elements in a circle All the generated meshes rely on a mesh size field and a mesh metric that is based on centerline descriptions (distance to centerlines, local reference system based on the directions of the centerline and the normals to the centerline).īefore proceeding, make sure you went through the centerlines tutorial. Additionally a multiply layered arterial wall can be generated with a variable thickness, function of th evessel radius. The procedure is able to generate different type of meshes, isotropic tetrahedral meshes, anisotropic tetrahedral meshes or mixed hexahedral/tetrahedral meshes. Starting from an STL file (that can be of very ol quality), the NEW ‘‘centerline field’’ of Gmsh enables you to automatically create a CFD mesh or FSI mesh for cardiovascular and respiratory flow simulations.

This tutorial demonstrates how to mesh tubular geometries with Gmsh using the centerlines computed with vmtk. *by Emilie Marchandise, Universite ́ catholique de Louvain, Institute of Mechanics, Materials and Civil Engineering (iMMC) * Or should we stick with the older gmsh versions as the mesh format 2.2 ASCII has changed for good in the newer versions? In attachment you can find an example of the meshes from a tetraeder exported with the 4.7 version ('47' folder) and with the 3.0 version ('30' folder).Latest stable release & Development version

I therefore switched to the gmsh-executable my colleagues use (version3.0.5) and here I do exactly the same as described above (although there are less tick-box choices in the process) and get the negative IDs needed by the code to write its own ghost cells.Īre there tick-boxes I should mark in the version 4.7.1 (and newer versions) to get the result I need? I tried already quite some combinations as well as inclusion of
Also the 6 digit ending after the file name is not used anymore (_000001, _000002. pdf-documentation of the legacy mesh format 2.2. The negative IDs are still mentioned in the. However, in the tags of the elements there are no negative partition IDs, which gives issues when the mesh is being read by the code. As a relatively new member in the research group, I downloaded the gmsh executable version 4.7.1 for Linux and exported from it the partitioned mesh file (I partition without any of the tick-boxes ticked on and export the mesh as one file per partition). This code can read in a gmsh-.msh-file with file format 2.2 ASCII. I'm working with an inhouse code mainly written between 2010-2015.
