Hello John,

Instead of saving your gambit geometry try to export it in a .msh format. Before that, you maybe have to specify your solver. Good luck.

I already specify the solver for POLYFLOW in gambit before i do modelling & meshing.

I do the samething as the gambit tutorial do.

But it export Neutral format file("xxx.neu") Hope someone can give advise again.

If you are using POLYMAN, in the tool menu, there is an option Convert a Gambit Neutral file (i.e. the xxx.neu file.

If you are not using POLYMAN, in the main menu of POLYDATA, there is an option Convert a mesh file under which you can find the option Convert a Gambit Neutral file.

Both ways will create the xxx.msh file.

Thank a lot to you guy.

when i open the .msh file with polydata, it show message "Unable to create the skeleton of the mesh. At least 2 boundaries per sub-domain are needed!"

i still able to see the 3-D model in polydata.

CAn anyone give advise?? why can not create mesh?

You did not define the boundaries in Gambit. Refer to the Users GUide and Example manuals if you don't know how to do it.
