Dear Matthias,
I see what you mean...
I will firstly try to mesh the same geometry with another mesh size.
If it doesn't work, I will change the geometry.
Thanks a lot for your help, and best regards.

Objet : AW: [Gmsh] Error "Self intersecting surface mesh, computing intersections" depending of characteristic length cl
Hi,
when I try to mesh the geometry with Version 2.6.2-svn (2013-01-31) under Windows XP, gmsh crashes during the 3D meshing.
Remark: it seems to me that the mesh inside the cylinder is VERY fine - is that really needed?

Betreff: [Gmsh] Error "Self intersecting surface mesh, computing intersections" depending of characteristic length cl
Hello,
I programmed the following 3D geo file.
Gmsh can mesh it with big characteristic lengths cl1=500 and cl2=100, giving 686 triangles. That means there isn't any syntax error in my file.
But reducing the characteristic length cl to cl=1 in order to get more triangles, and then meshing the volume, Gmsh gives the following error message:
Error : Self intersecting surface mesh, computing intersections (this could take a while)
Info : 1327 intersecting faces have been saved into 'intersect.pos'
Info : Done meshing 3D (42.7131 s)
Info : 32123 vertices 69639 elements
Error : ------------------------------
Error : Mesh generation error summary
Error : 0 warnings
Error : 1 error
Error : Check the full log for details
Error : ------------------------------
What could be the cause of this error?
How could I solve it?
