Hi forum

UNV mesh converter succeeds in converting nodes and cells of .unv from SALOME, but fails while building patches of some meshes.

The message is :

Hereafter is an extract of the .unv file. "outer" is the patch name. The failure line 56343 is the last one:

Any help would be appreciated

Thanks in advance
