Fusing shapes not creating single volume
Hello.
I am trying to use OpenCascade in gmsh to build a trabecular-like lattice structure from its individual struts. To do this I create the cylinder shapes (with spherical ends) and starting with the first cylindrical shape, fuse it to the next to create a new shape, and fuse this with the next cylindrical shape and so on.
The fuse function seems to work sporadically, as I do not end up with 1 volume at the end, but also do not end up with the number of individual cylindrical shapes before fusing (but closer to this than 1 volume). The aim is to go ahead and mesh the volume to run FE analysis on it.
I have recreated the problem and attached it. I use python 3.8 with the latest gmsh.
Any help with this is much appreciated.
Many thanks Imelda
