That would be very useful. Especially if Gmsh can create good-quality boundary layer mesh in 3D (I haven't seen such an example yet). And maybe the code from the CFD workbench (discussed in that referenced thread) could help.

With cfmesh you can produce a tetrahedral mesh too, with boundary elements.
After writing the meshCase, use Edit, open the Allmesh-script and change
"runCommand cartesianMesh" to "runCommand tetMesh".
Save file, Run Mesher.
Works even for polyhedral meshes with "runCommand pMesh".
See also cfmesh user-guide.

Where is the latest cfmesh user guide ? The one I am using is circa 2015.

If it is literally that simple, it would be very easy to add this as an option in the mesh control panel and to the mesh object and processes.thschrader wrote: ↑Wed Mar 29, 2023 3:46 pm A thought...

Re: Proposal: add gmsh boundary layer meshing to CfdOF.
I think it is that simple, but I have found the tet mesher a bit wanting in terms of robustness (in my admittedly limited experience) so have avoided adding it as an official option.techGuy wrote: ↑Wed Apr 05, 2023 6:24 pmIf it is literally that simple, it would be very easy to add this as an option in the mesh control panel and to the mesh object and processes.thschrader wrote: ↑Wed Mar 29, 2023 3:46 pm A thought...

I think that is the only one. The free version of the official code (https://sourceforge.net/p/cfmesh/code/c ... ment/tree/) was abandoned a while ago.

Good to know ! I lack the historical knowledge on these issues. Comments like this are very helpful.oliveroxtoby wrote: ↑Wed Apr 05, 2023 7:06 pmI think it is that simple, but I have found the tet mesher a bit wanting in terms of robustness (in my admittedly limited experience) so have avoided adding it as an official option.
