Hi,

I get this error when trying to mesh a solid -

''Topology error detected in CAD model. CAD edge referenced 4 times by faces. Model invalid for meshing.''

Does anyone know what this means?

There is a problem with your domain and subdomain definition. Your probably have two solids in the same domain that touch at an edge. Solids must connect at whole faces. If this is the problem, you can correct it by putting the two solids that touch at an edge in different sub-domains.
