Gmsh import doesn't show geometry
Posted: 21 Jul 2021, 22:48
Hey all,
I've been trying to import my mesh into elmer and I'm nearly there, but something is going screwy in the last step.
What I did:
1) built the geometry in solidworks and exported as a .step file
2) meshed in gmsh (and made some physical groups for boundaries/solid bodies); exported as .unv
3) opened the .unv file in Elmer
The mesh displays just fine, but the CAD model is empty, and when I click on the different body properties nothing highlights, so I can't tell which is which. I've attached the .step and .geo files for reference (the .unv file is too large to upload, so I made a very coarse version of the mesh to upload--it works the same when I import it to Elmer).
What step have I missed in here, or how do I need to modify the geometry/mesh to make it work?
Thanks!
