Volume meshing errors occurred. See the log panel for a detailed summary. Repair the input mesh or consider using the Tetrahedral Mesh block.

About the error

Issue: Occurs when converting a surface mesh into a solid mesh. When doing this conversion, the Volume Mesh block works best with simple parts, and the Robust Tetrahedral Mesh block works best for everything else. If this error occurred when using the Robust Tetrahedral Mesh block, the best fix is to clean up the mesh. Applies to:
  • Volume Mesh
  • Robust Tetrahedral Mesh
Cause:
  • A complex shape has been used in the Volume Mesh block.
  • The mesh needs to be cleaned before it can convert into a solid mesh.
Solution:
  • Use the Tetrahedral Mesh block instead of the Volume Mesh block.
  • Check to see if the mesh needs to be cleaned by opening up the Properties panel. Look for the self-intersecting, manifold, and oriented properties. Ideally, the mesh should be:
    • Self-intersecting: False
    • Manifold: True
    • Oriented: True
  • Methods for cleaning up the mesh include: Remesh Surface, Refine Mesh, Simplify Mesh, and Filter Mesh. Read more about cleaning and refining meshes here.
  • Open up the log panel (chevron at the bottom of the screen) and scroll up in it to see if any detailed error messages appeared. Address the concerns noted in the log panel.
