Elmer Discussion Forum

Hello everyone,

I am trying to test a simple scenario of current flow, with 3 bodies, different resistivity. The problem is, although face groups look ok, the volume groups do not import as expected i.e. when I click them in Elmer GUI they do not select properly and by the behaviour of the simulation, I end up with one big volume and 2 smaller ones, overlapping the main volume (you will understand what I mean when you'll see the geom). Can anyone take a look at these files and tell me what I am doing wrong?

Regards,

Hi,

The mesh and salome files look ok tp me, perhaps the problem is in your sif file. I think ElmerGUI sometimes have problems to show the bodies in 3D, not sure why. Can you share your sif file to see if the problem is there?
Cheers,

Your mesh is OK.
It will work in the solver.

The issue is that ElmerGUI uses the boundaries, to display the bodies, it does not use the bodies to display the bodies. So if your boundaries do not completely define your body, the body will not show as expected in GUI.

This is a graphical display issue only.

The mesh is correct and will work correctly in the solver.
