Hi,
I've previously been using Tgrid for my volume mesh. I'm trying to start using Ansa now (where I've been doing my surface mesh). I'm new to volume meshing in Ansa and I'm running into a double elements error. I have a closed volume of FE's and I'm trying to "define" the volume. When I go to auto detect the volume using Volume>Define>Auto Detect, i get an error that says "Double elements Found. Cannot Continuee !!"

Ansa gives me the coordinates of the error and when I look there, I have nice looking surface mesh. There are no intersections, the skewness is low, orientation has been completed and is correct, and I've compressed all decks so there are no duplicate nodes. It's a really random location that Ansa is pointing to.

Is anyone familiar with this error and/or what a double element is? Thanks!
