Time Narration
00:01 Hello and welcome to the spoken tutorial on Creating a sphere in GMSH.
00:06 In this tutorial, we will learn to:

Create a circular arc Create ruled surfaces and basic manipulations using the file with extension '.geo'.

00:17 To record this tutorial, I am using:

Ubuntu Linux Operating system 14.04 GMSH version 2.8.5

00:27 As a prerequisite, user should have basic knowledge of creating points. If not, refer to the GMSH spoken tutorials in the OpenFOAM series on this website.
00:38 Let us begin.

The origin of the sphere is at (0,0,0) and the other points of the sphere are as displayed.

00:48 Let us now open GMSH from the terminal. To open the terminal, press Ctrl+Alt+T keys.

Now, type: gmsh space sphere1.geo and press Enter. GMSH is opened.

01:09 I have already created 7 points for the sphere, as shown here. To create the points of the sphere, kindly refer to the tutorial mentioned earlier.
01:19 I'll now demonstrate how to make a circular arc. In GMSH, a circular arc is strictly created less than Pi.
01:27 To create an arc, select Circle arc option in the left-hand-side menu.
01:32 Now, I will select the right-most point as the starting point of the arc. Then, select this point here as the center point. Please note, this is the point with the coordinates (0,0,0).
01:48 And finally, I will select a point on the top-side as the end point of the arc.
01:54 Repeat the process till all arcs are created. Remember to keep the same centre point for all the arcs.
02:02 Now select Ruled surface option from the left-hand side menu, to create the curved surface.Select the bounding edges for the surface, as demonstrated here.
02:20 Notice that the selected edges are now in red colour. Press 'E' on the keyboard to execute this selection.
02:29 You can see that the surface has been created. This is indicated by the dotted line, as shown here.
02:37 Repeat the process and create all 8 surfaces of the sphere. On completion, your sphere should look like this.
02:46 Now, go to the Home folder. Locate and open the file sphere1.geo using gedit Text Editor.
02:54 Information related to the geometrical entities that we just created, are stored here.
03:00 In GMSH, the general syntax is:

Geometrical entity, identification number inside the parenthesis which equals to an expression.

03:11 Here, for point, the expression is

Point, identification number inside the parenthesis, which is usually the next integer starting from 1 equals to X, Y, Z coordinates and the value of the mesh element size inside braces.

03:30 This value is the desired mesh element size. The size of the mesh elements will then be computed by linearly interpolating these values on the initial mesh.
03:41 Let us now replace the numerical value of the points of the sphere, to a variable 's'.
03:49 At the beginning, type "s = 0.1;"

This is for specifying the value of mesh element size of the sphere.

04:01 To capture the boundary layer, we will refine the mesh near the sphere. For this purpose, we shall use the line:

Mesh.CharacteristicLengthFromCurvature = 0.05;

04:15 The syntax: Mesh.CharacteristicLengthFromCurvature will adapt the mesh with respect to the curvature of the geometrical entities.
04:25 For volume creation, we require all the bounding surfaces. For this, at the end of the file, type:

"Surface Loop()" followed by its identity which is the next integer inside parenthesis, which equals the identities of all the surfaces of the sphere within braces.

04:48 Here, the identities are 14, 16, 18, 20, 22, 24, 26 and 28.
05:05 Now, save and close the sphere1.geo file.
05:10 Let's switch to the GMSH interface. In the left-hand-side menu, click on Physical groups. Then Add, and then Surface. Select all the surfaces of the sphere.
05:26 Press 'E' on the keyboard to execute this selection.
05:30 Now, again open sphere1.geo file in the Text Editor. Right at the bottom, notice that a new line of code has been added.
05:42 Replace this number with "sphere", within quotes. This will help us to easily identify the boundaries of the sphere while post processing or otherwise.
05:54 Now save and close the file. This completes this tutorial. Let us summarize.
06:01 In this tutorial, we learnt to:

Create curved lines and surfaces Create a sphere and basic manipulations using the file with extension .geo.

06:13 As an assignment, create a sphere with a larger radius.
06:17 OpenFOAM series is created by the FOSSEE Project, IIT Bombay.
06:21 FOSSEE stands for Free and Open Source Software for Education. This project promotes the use of free and open source software tools. For more details, please visit:

06:33 The video at this link summarizes the Spoken Tutorial project. Please download and watch it.
06:40 The Spoken Tutorial Project team conducts workshops and gives certificates on passing online tests. For more details, please write to us.
06:49 Spoken Tutorial Project is funded by NMEICT, MHRD, Government of India. More information on this mission is available at this link.

07:03 Thanks for joining.
