NPOIN error on 3D mesh
 

Hi all! I tried to make a mesh recently and SU2 is giving me an NPOIN error. The file has the correct number of points, and I have tried creating physical surfaced and volumes to include all of the points. In GMSH, I have also tried save all elements with no success. Attached is my mesh. Thanks for the help!

Hi,


Your file says NELEM = 0 and there are no elements defined. I can see the correct number of points and markers, but no elements. Can you check with gmsh again?


Cheers.

Thank you, I will try to regenerate the mesh!

Hey,

if you have a gmsh .geo file to share I could help much better.

Did you really create a Physical Volume? I am kind of certain that you didn't, from what I see (I uncommented the physical volume part in of my meshes and I get the exact same behavior). GMSH only exports what is inphysical groups by default.
See http://gmsh.info/doc/texinfo/gmsh.html#Volumes

You'll need a Surface Loop -> Volume -> Physical Volume. I recommend to use the GUI for that as it usually easier.

You could use the option during export although I don't recommend doing so as it will write geometry points as well (e.g. a helper midpoint to create a circular arc)... and then you'll have a point which does not belong to an element which will cause another error.


Hope that helps,
Tobi
