Hello,
I am a new MecWay user who is attempting to generate a mesh from a step file imported from FreeCAD. The solid imported is a hollow tube. My current process is something like this:
Right click my step file under geometry, then click "generate mesh."
A black box appears, stating "generate edge mesh." This is followed by a list of statements, all of which stated "divide edge: local h too small CORRECTED."
At the end of this process, I am greeted by the following advice:
- Make a surface mesh to identify problems
- Modify geometry to remove fine detail, non-manifold geometry.
What am I doing wrong? Any Advice? How do i make a surface mesh?
The detail on this tube is not fine. It's much more of a polygonal tube than a true circle.
Comments
Trash this geometry and build a new one.
By the way, due to the small thickness is better to model the tube with a cylindrical surface and mesh with shell elements (one layer)
