Elmer Discussion Forum

Hi Folks,
I am new user of Elmer and struggling in initial phase of using this tool.
It would be great if anyone from the community can help me in following issue currently i am facing.

As we know that while importing any geometry into Elmer GUI, it starts meshing same with default meshing parameters.
Due to this, elmer is getting crashed when a multi feature object is imported. I don't know what is the reason behind this, if i am importing incorrectly or is there any other way to import.
I think "Terminate meshing" option is there but it is disabled and i don't know how to enable it.

Pls help if any one can.

Thank you in advance.

Very few use Elmer to import geometry and mesh. Most users are using gmsh or salome.
https://www.nic.funet.fi/pub/sci/physic ... dElmer.pdf covers both of these tools.

Thanks a lot for the advice. I will work on it.

Another option is to edit share/ElmerGUI/egini.xml. Automatic start of meshing is turned off by changing <automesh> property in the xml file from 1 to 0 as shown below.
