Elmer Discussion Forum

Hi, I compiled Elmer without errors. However, I couldn't install a functional ElmerGUI on my openSUSE 13.1 64bit. Opening some meshes make it freeze and when not freezing, the solver doesn't respond: Verbose on Run > Start server: Solver emitted signal: QProcess::ProcessState: 1 Solver emitted signa...

I though I had to remesh.

Thanks,

Serge-Éti.

With GiD, I can load the mesh with load project and load mesh. But no simulation seems to be functional. When I remesh, the mesh disapears. Here is the log. On Ubuntu with updated version elmer 6.1.0.svn.5396.dfsg-2ubuntu1 and GiD problem type available here: http://www.csc.fi/english/pages/elmer/in...

Gary,

Will Netgen or Elmer be able to generate the tetrahedrons inside the surface stl mesh created using Blender?

Thanks,

Serge-Éti.

Hello, I found an interesting Blender plugin called Point Cloud Skinner ( http://www.blendernation.com/2012/01/12/python-script-point-cloud-skinner/ ). As for Qhull, it seems to be also available in R ( http://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/geometry/index.html ) and Python ( http://pypi.python.org/...

Is someone aware if there is a library somewhere that can generate a structured or unstructured mesh with 3D elements (e.g. tetrahedral) from a xyz point cloud?

Hello Matthias,

I iteratively tried several settings in Gmsh. I finally used Delaunay as 2D algorithm and Frontal as 3D algorithm. Please refer to the screen capture for details. I emailed GID last week about this issue. No news yet.

Regards.

Mr. Johnson,

Many thanks for this useful information. It helped me a lot.

It seems I didn't saved the mesh in Elmer format before modelling. My issues left are on the mesh generation side, so out of topic here.

Thanks anyways!

I have tried several unsuccessful solutions. First, Netgen crashes in Ubuntu when it is asked to mesh a healed step file. Salomé in Ubuntu can't load the Geometry module. Netgen in Windows can not import step or iges files without the addition of a module - that should be able to download from CVS, ...
