Bill,
indeed, in SQHRdrBaseDie.geo, the surface 7 of volume 2 is overlapping surface 5 of volume 1.
You should define surface 7 with surface 5 (line loop 5) as an hole in it:
Plane Surface(7) = {7,5};
and add surface 5 in the definition of volume 2:
Surface Loop(2) = {5 , 7 , 8, 9, 10, 11, 12};
Volume(2) = {2};
and idem for surface 2 and 16
Plane Surface(2) = {2,16}; // but you have to define surface 2 after having defined surface 16 of course...
see attached SQHdrBaseDie_Mod.geo
Gmsh crashes almost immediately when I try to load your step file... I will look at it later this day if I have time...
Cheers,
Dave
