Elmer Discussion Forum

Hello,

Elmer crashes when I load the attached UNV file. I also tried to use the converted grid by using ElmerGrid 8 2 meshName.unv without success.
Mesh was generated with Salome. I am able to open it with GMSH though and is seems fine.
I am using the GUI of Elmer 9.0-Release

Regards,

GetElementSide: unknown elementtype 219505536 (elem=0,side=0)

Import unv in salome, create group of volumes for the body
create group edge elements, then delete with contents so that only volumes and faces are left
export unv again
opens in ElmerGUI

There are also 429 coincident nodes, if not intentional, should be merged.

thanks everyone,
I recreated a similar geometry and had it working. Probably all the problems you mentioned got fixed by having a clean geometry.
