To Whom it May Concern, <br><br>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". <br>
<br>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. <br><br> 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. <br>
<br>Thank you for your time!<br clear="all"><br>Regards, <br>-- <br><div><span style="font-family:'trebuchet ms',sans-serif;font-size:large">Courtney Gras</span></div><div style="font-family:trebuchet ms,sans-serif;color:rgb(0,0,0)">
