[CIG-SEISMO] Import mesh to specfem3d from gmsh

[ROBERTS A.W.]

Hi there,

I'm not sure if this is the appropriate contact (if not, then I'd be grateful if you can point me in the correct direction!)...

I'm having problems importing a mesh from gmsh into specfem3d...  I've created a fairly basic mesh (attached), however when I apply the script gmsh2specfem3d.py it complains that PosPhys has not been assigned, suggesting that the PhysicalNames need to be defined in the .msh file... however, on adding such a section it doesn't seem to be picked up by the python script, and at the same time causes gmsh to not be able to read in the file too...

I realise it is probably quite basic, however I've been playing around with it for a week or so and not getting anywhere, so was wondering if you might be able to help?!

If you could perhaps send me a simple example gmsh mesh which works with the script, and the output from the script/input which then goes into specfem3d, that would be wonderful, so I can have a look and work out what I need to do!

Kind regards.
