Hi,
I am trying to make a simple heat tranfer analysis similar to the intrusion in tutorial 3. I want to calculate propagation of heatwaves from surface. (left) I made "1D" mesh, but with regresive node density to the right by spliting the body in gmsh
The problem i that there are now boundaries inside the body (although in gmsh they are se to be elementary entities). If I uderstood it properly, the boundaries will be set to heatflux = 0 if i leave them empty so it would mess up the results completly.
Is there any other way to make regresive node spacing?

Thanks for the answer

It may caused by coincident points/nodes they can be merged with the coherence command. You can also use mesh define transfinite curve to specify the number of elements on each curve.
