[Gmsh] 3d Meshing Issue

[Zenker, Dr. Matthias]

Hi,

I have difficulties to open your STEP file, my gmsh hangs when I try it.
What you can check: Are you sure you generated a 3D mesh? When you open your .msh file with gmsh, do you see volumes in Tools->Visibility?

HTH,

Matthias

Betreff: [Gmsh] 3d Meshing Issue

To Whom it May Concern,

I am attempting to mesh a rather complex geometry representative of a 3/0 AWG copper wire. I have a .step file (attached) for this geometry. When I attempt to mesh this geometry and open it in Elmer (for additional analysis), I noticed that the mesh has " 0 volume elements".

Would you be able to assist with this issue? I'm thinking I may not have the correct options setup for meshing a geometry such as this.

 I should point out that I am not very experienced with finite element analysis, as this is my first attempt at using software such as gmsh and elmer.

Thank you for your time!

Regards,
