Error: NETGEN

[Racime]

Hello,

I imported a STL file of a simple beam to see how this program works.

This is working just fine, i see the model.
However if i'm trying to put in the mesh (TETGEN or NETGEN) the error is the same.

"Error: NETGEN, please look at Netgen.log" this log doesn't help me much but perhaps someone knows how to proceed on this error.

Dear Racime,

without your project folder or the STL file, we cannot reproduce your error.
Please provide us with either your project folder as a ZIP file or the STL file via Dropbox or email to z88aurora@uni-bayreuth.de.

Kind regards,

Thank you i sent the model to your E-mail. This is a Windows Z88, but the same error is reproduced in my Linux Version.

Dear Racime,

we received your file, but the ZIP archive seems to be damaged.
Please send us a valid file, so we can process your request.
Thank you!

Kind regards,
SHautsch

Done.
The STL file is included in the zip.

Dear Racime,

just to make sure: you sent us the Z88Aurora project folder, not just an STL?

The STL file included in the project folder is invalid, this is an STL file containing two separate bodies, whose STL "meshes" do not interact. Z88Aurora V2 cannot use multiple bodies. You will have to export your CAD model to STEP or STL as one single body and then import to Z88Aurora. With a valid STL file, Tetgen or Netgen should be able to mesh your part.

Kind regards,

Thank you, the problem was caused by the model being 2 seperate bodies. The meshing worked fine after i changed the STL to 1 body. leason learned.

Dear Racime,

we are glad you solved the problem.
I hope you enjoyed using Z88Aurora and will do so in the future.
If you have further questions, feel free to ask anytime - here at the forum or via email.
