Elmer.gid problem type and findparents

Post by mark smith »

Hi Elmer team
I am using findparents.exe that comes bundled with the GiD interface to correct the boundary.mesh file I produce with a routine for converting gmsh mesh file into the set of Elmer mesh file.
I get a string of warnings such as:
Confused: Dimension of the boundary element 1
is incompatible with possible parent 12469
Confused: Dimension of the boundary element 1
is incompatible with possible parent 1446
Confused: Dimension of the boundary element 2
is incompatible with possible parent 25061
Confused: Dimension of the boundary element 2
is incompatible with possible parent 3196

These warnings are also generated from GiD produced mesh files if I run findparents from a command window? Are the warning anything to worry about and is the resulting boundary.mesh.corrected a valid file? Elmersolver runs OK with the resulting set of mesh files.

Regards
mark
