Error in Gambit

January 8, 2007, 05:37

In Gambit, when I am trying to convert surface mesh to solid mesh, it gives me error

- Initialization failed; perturb boundary nodes and try again

I tried all kinds of interval size, I cant able fix this problem. Can anybody help me on this?

More over I don't T-Grid software to convert surface mesh to solid mesh.

check the skewness of the surface mesh.. this generally is the problem... if the geometry is complicated, you can chk if regions with small gaps have adequate mesh density!!

Thanks Pratik

What is the range of Skewness value we are supposed to have in the surface mesh? How to check the same in Gambit?
