The discussion revolves around a user encountering a crash in GMSH when attempting to change an extrusion value in their geo script from 10 to 100. Initially, the user shared their script, which included several points and lines, and reported that the program crashed with the higher extrusion value. After some troubleshooting, the user identified the issue as a problematic line definition where two lines referenced the same point numbers, specifically Line(4), Line(7), and Line(8). The user acknowledged that this error was due to their own tool generating the script incorrectly, rather than a fault in GMSH itself. They expressed relief that the issue was resolved but noted that the program should ideally provide an error message instead of crashing, highlighting a concern about GMSH's stability.

Hello,

here is my geo script of gmsh: (windows10 64bit)
Code:
Point(1) = {0,-35,20};
Point(2) = {0,-35,-10};
Line(1) = {1, 2};
Point(3) = {0,35,-10};
Line(2) = {2, 3};
Point(4) = {0,35,20};
Line(3) = {3, 4};
Line(4) = {4, 4};
Point(5) = {0,0,0};
Line(5) = {4, 5};
Line(6) = {5, 1};
Line(7) = {1, 1};
Line(8) = {1, 1};
Curve Loop(1) = {1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8};
Plane Surface(1) = {1};
Extrude {10, 0, 0} { Surface{1};  }
ReverseMesh Surface{1};
Mesh 2;
it works fine!

but if i change the line to: Extrude {100, 0, 0} { Surface{1}; }

(only changing value 10 to 100)

gmsh is crashing!
what is the problem, anyone any ideas?

regards, mario

omg, allready fixed!

Line(4) = {4, 4}; and some stuff, it was a long day ;-)

Can you post your updated script so we can see what-all you changed to eliminate the errors? Was it just the definition of Line(4) that was the problem? And why did it work like that with the coarser mesh for Extrude?

Thanks.
 
The Problem was the Line wich have the same Point Numbers such as:
Line(4) = {4, 4};
Line(7) = {1, 1};
Line(8) = {1, 1};

It was auto generated by my tool wich uses gmsh, i though it was a gmsh error, but it was mine, everything works fine now!
 
Still, the program should return an error instead of crashing. But man does it crashes quite often!
