Dear all
Is Edge not capable of working with mixed 2D element types on a single boundary? If not where do the normals (for a mesh with multiple regions/zones separated by element type) of a region's boundary have to face to? All inside the region? What about the connecting boundaries between regions? I attached all the relevant Edge outputs for clarification (hopefully). Any help would be much appreciated! Cgns2ffa recognizes the boundaries and converts the mesh: Code:

This is usually caused by an error in mesh. The usual error is you have a non matching cell or something like that. CGNS2FFA converter does not detect such error and converts the mesh. Try to plot your mesh on display and look for node 50031 to see how it looks like |
