Hi Folks,
I am new user of Elmer and struggling in initial phase of using this tool.
It would be great if anyone from the community can help me in following issue currently i am facing.
As we know that while importing any geometry into Elmer GUI, it starts meshing same with default meshing parameters.
Due to this, elmer is getting crashed when a multi feature object is imported. I don't know what is the reason behind this, if i am importing incorrectly or is there any other way to import.
I think "Terminate meshing" option is there but it is disabled and i don't know how to enable it.
Pls help if any one can.
Thank you in advance.

Re: Deactivating automatic mesh while importing geometry
Very few use Elmer to import geometry and mesh. Most users are using gmsh or salome.

Re: Deactivating automatic mesh while importing geometry
Thanks a lot for the advice. I will work on it.
Re: Deactivating automatic mesh while importing geometry
Another option is to edit share/ElmerGUI/egini.xml. Automatic start of meshing is turned off by changing <automesh> property in the xml file from 1 to 0 as shown below.
Code: Select all
<automesh> 0 </automesh>
