Not reading Physical Entities (Edges)

[tctheodosiou]

Hi,
I have created a 3D model in gmsh, and I am trying to import it with FileMeshGenerator.
The file contains named faces and named edges (as Physical Entities). The faces are read without problem. The edges seem to be ignored.
I have read a similar discussion in Google Groups (which had an error in the gmsh file). So tried to compile the geo file from the command line (gmsh -3 infile.geo); no errors are shown and the exported msh file contains the named edges.

I attach my input files. The entity "bottom_edge" does not show in the moose model.
When I run mysolver-opt -i Q_model.i --mesh-only it doesnt seem to recognise the edge (Mesh Edgesets: None).

Any advice is much appriciated. Thanks!
(Attachments in zip, because the forum does not allow .i or .geo files)

It seems that when I apply the RenameBlockGenerator, it loses the defined face labels (edge-names are lost in any case).
Any way to bybass this error?

[part2] type = FileMeshGenerator file = 'part2.msh' [] [part2_subdomain] type = SubdomainIDGenerator input = part2 subdomain_id = 2 []

The reason for needing the subdomains is that parts 1 & 2 have different elements, and I get an error about Exodus cant have different element type in same block id (something like that). By renaming the subdomains, I bypass Exodus error, but I lose the names of the faces (and therefore I cant apply BCs).

Hello

We keep track of sidesets and nodesets in MOOSe.
In 3D a sideset can only be 2D. So your edges have to be stored as nodesets instead, sets of nodes.
