Just guessing, but it may be that you haven't defined a Physical Volume. Take a look at the section in the manual on Physical v. Elementary entities, if you don't know what that means.<br><br>If you have defined a Physical Volume then it must be something else, in which case you should post your .geo file, which will contain a record of what's been done.<br>

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>
