Non-cooper-able volume, please help
 

Hi everybody,

I wanna mesh a 3D volume (brick with two openings ) like the one in the modeling guide, figure 3-64 (c), Gambit documentation. the only difference is that I only have circle faces (holes) instead of cylinders.

They say that it is a non-cooper-able volume and to make it cooper-able, I should first split the upper and lower rectangular source face (figure 3-65)

I tried to make a virtual face split but it gaves me an error message like (edge endpoints do not belong to boundary face).

have anyone encounterd this problem ?

sorry for being long

Thank you very much in advance

Hi zxaar,

Thank you very much for your help, but actually I get this error message before meshing.

cause I have to split the source faces before meshing them as far as what I understood from the documentation.

the exact message is: can't split face (face.1) with edge (v_edge.17) whose end vertices are not face boundary.

by the way do you know how to imprint the source faces before meshing them according to the cooper algorithm?

I am really confused, I am still beginner

Thanx

hello i have sent you the mesh(jou actually) file, that day u sent me the jou file.

since u r on hotmail my message might have gone into ur junk folder please check that , it stays in junk folder for 7 days. thanks
