Salome geometry import issues in Elmer GUI
Posted: 12 Apr 2023, 13:09
Hello everyone,
Most likely I am (again) doing something wrong, thus I need some help.
I am modeling a PCB microstrip (a small planar copper, parallel to a large reference plane of copper, separated by a dielectric as seen in the first pic), as I want to get its capacity in report to the reference plane.
The main problem I am facing is that while in Salome and in ElmerGrid I see 4 volume groups and 4 surface groups, Elmer GUI imports 5 volumes and 3 surfaces, which puzzles me.
I uploaded all the files (Elmer, UNV and details) here: https://github.com/catalineacsu/ElmerDebugShare.
Please note that I also tried to use the geometry created by elmerGrid (report also included) but Elmer fails to load it and crashes.
File list:
elmerGridReport.txt - command line conversion report of unv to Elmer
elmerImported.png - how it looks in Elmer GUI (also in this post)
salomeShaperAndMesh.png - Hoe it looks in SALOME (also in this post)
traceCapInSphere.zip - UNV file from SALOME
traceCapacity_V1.zip - ELMER folder
