AI Thread Summary
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!
 
Thread 'Is this public key encryption?'
I've tried to intuit public key encryption but never quite managed. But this seems to wrap it up in a bow. This seems to be a very elegant way of transmitting a message publicly that only the sender and receiver can decipher. Is this how PKE works? No, it cant be. In the above case, the requester knows the target's "secret" key - because they have his ID, and therefore knows his birthdate.
I tried a web search "the loss of programming ", and found an article saying that all aspects of writing, developing, and testing software programs will one day all be handled through artificial intelligence. One must wonder then, who is responsible. WHO is responsible for any problems, bugs, deficiencies, or whatever malfunctions which the programs make their users endure? Things may work wrong however the "wrong" happens. AI needs to fix the problems for the users. Any way to...
