Gmsh - errror element type

ftrillaudp · October 26, 2022, 12:08pm

Dear all,

I am starting using FreeFem++ benchmarking some code. I have created a 3D ring reusing the magnetostatic example provided in FreeFem++ website. This example in 3D does not work producing the mesh with the lastest version of Gmsh 4.11. The software complains about the element type not available:

“Element of type 12 is not considered in Freefem++”

I am joining the gmsh *.geo and the *edp.

Best,

Frederic

What is the format of benchmark1.msh (ASCII or binary, Gmsh format version)?

ftrillaudp · October 26, 2022, 2:00pm

It is ASCII. I thought that it was necessary. But you are right the error disappear using binary format for the mesh.

I tried with the basic magnetostatic example but it does not seem to run in 3D. IN 2D it runs fine.

I am running gmsh 4.11 and FreeFem++ 4.11 on ubuntu 20.04LTS.

I have attached the code downloaded from the magnetostatic example for a try. The geo file is renamed benchmark1.geo to create the mesh in Gmsh.

Best,

Frederic
