<div>Hi,</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I have a problem with a 3D mesh generated by gmsh: I get a Degenerate 3D element" error when I use this mesh with the Elmer FEM software. The mesh is produced when I mesh the attached geo file , just using the default settings in gmsh (2.6.2-svn, Windows
XP). </div>
<div>My questions are:</div>
<div> </div>
<ol style="margin:0;padding-left:36pt;">
<li>How can I find out if there are degenerate elements? Is there a way to check the mesh quality in gmsh?</li><li>What can I do to avoid degenerate elements?</li></ol>
<div> </div>
<div>Thank you for helpful hints,</div>
<div> </div>
