Hello,

I'm currently playing around with the different options to generate meshes in ICEM, however I still fail to use the Advancing Front algorithm, even for trivial geometries. The mesh generation always fails with an error.

The workflow I used to test it with a simple geometry (https://pastebin.com/hLDT8V47):
1) Create 1x1x1 cube by adding points and creating surfaces
2) Set Part Max Size to 0.1
3) Add Material Point
4) Build Topology
5) Generate All-Tri surface mesh
6) Start Advancing Front meshing

The meshing fails with

Code:
Application did not finish correctly.
Error: afmesh exited with a non-zero status
No afmesh mesh generated!
I see no other error messages in the log before that. I uploaded the complete log (with verbose output) to pastebin: https://pastebin.com/zE56p1zG

The result is the same when I generate the surface mesh by doing an Octree meshing and deleting the volume elements.

Does anyone know how to setup the AF-mesher correctly?
