Hi Steffen,
I am not totally sure from what you wrote that there are really no
duplicated nodes. In gmsh, you need to define the surfaces in a way
that neighbouring surfaces/facets with a common border use the
_/same/_ nodes to define the border. I could not see from your file
if there are duplicated nodes, and would propose that you make sure
that there are really no such duplications.
If the meshing still fails, then this is a question for the real
gurus (Christophe?).
HTH,
Matthias

Hi Steffen,
No it is more clear. If you are working with cloud of point, then you
may use Meshlab for surface regeneration. There are many software
that are able to handle in a resonable way the cloud of points (like
rhino3D + resurf, other). But these are rather commercial.
From the other side - try to do the simplest thing:
Adjust your python script for surface creation in order to save not
as PLY but as GMSH "geo" file using points and lines
Point(1)={0,0,0} ;
Point(2)={0,1,0} ;
...
Line(1) = {1,2};
..
and.. Line Loop & Surface -> Volume ..
Then you will get a volume defined by geometric entities. In this
case is shoul be easier to create a better mesh on surface and then
on whole volume.

Roman

Hi,
@ Roman:
some more details:
I have a point cloud given and generate the surface mesh by
myself (with python). I don't know a good algorithm to create a
volume mesh out of this surface mesh - that's why I use gmsh for
this task.
I also checked my surface mesh for double vertexes but I didn't
find any. What do you mean with "double egdes"? Isn't there
always a "double edge", because two neighbour facets always have
one same edge?!
I will send you a .step or .iges file as soon as I figured out
how to handle the "No OpenCASCADE model found" error.
I'm appending the other mailing history (with Matthias) to this
mail - sorry for that "double mailing", I just forgot one time to
"reply to all" -.-
Anyone else has an idea why the meshing fails?
Regards and thank you a lot,
Steffen
Hi Steffen,
I don't see either why the meshing fails, sorry.

Oh I'm really sorry, here is the file.
In addition I sent you also the intersect.pos. I don't understand why
exactly
these surfaces are problematic and the "neighbour surfaces"
aren't - although they have the same geometry =/

Hi Steffen,
if you don't provide the myfile.ply2, we cannot see your geometry...
You can visualize intersect.pos by merging it to your geometry.

Hello,
It is possible, that you will get your geometry in other format?
In your "ply" there is already a surface mesh given. Try
maybe use STEP, IGES,... as input- then it is easer to
recalculate the surface mesh.
In case of need of usage of "a dead mesh" - maybe try first
to remesh it (i.e. in blender with modification Remesh)
and/or clean it (removing double vertexes and edges).

Hi,
in the appendix you find my model.
Thanks for help!!

Hello Steffen,
Yes. You can try to the first Optimize quality of
tetra, or all of them (just try).
I don't know how your model looks like. If the
elements on the surface are too big, then the solid
elements (probably tetragonal) may be with
intersecting edges or faces. Therefore the reducing
size of element may help (especially on the surfaces).
Or- just share your model (ply) -in order to be more
precise.

Hi Roman,
when you say "enable option: optimize", you mean"
Tools -> Options -> Mesh -> Advanced -> Optimize
quality of tetrahedra, Optimize quality of
tetrahedra with Netgen, Optimize high order
meshes (experimental)" ?
And why is reducing element size important? In my
case it is important that the object has such "90
degree corners".

Steffen

Hi Steffen,
If your volume is OK (is really a closed one)
- try to:
1. Reduce element size (especially in a
curved shapes)
2. Enable option "Optimize" - in mesh options

Hello everyone,
I'm a gmsh beginner and I want to create
a 3D volume mesh out of a given
surface-mesh but I got the error message
as seen in the subject. You find my .geo
file in the appendix.
Can anyone tell me what I have to do to
create a 3D mesh? I even can't figure out
where the intersection are located (don't
know how to read the intersect.pos).
Sorry for my poor english.
Regards,
Steffen
