I create both files: .msh and .geo, but I still get the same

I create a nodes- and elements-list like this:<br>
# nodes:<br>
N1 0,0,0<br>
N2 0,1,0<br>
N3 1,0,0<br>
N4 0,0,1<br>
# elements, which describe triangles:<br>
E1 1,2,3<br>
E2 2,3,4<br>

So I do have double edges (here: between node 2+3). Didn't
now that this is a problem for gmsh, sorry.<br>

I will try Romans solution asap and give you a feedback.<br>

you need to define the surfaces in a way that
neighbouring surfaces/facets with a common border use

not see from your file if there are duplicated nodes,

<p class="MsoNormal">Hi Steffen,<br>
<br>
No it is more clear. If you are working with cloud
of point, then you may use Meshlab for surface
regeneration. There are many software that are able
to handle in a resonable way the cloud of points
(like rhino3D + resurf, other). But these are rather
commercial.<br>
<br>
From the other side - try to do the simplest thing:<br>
<br>
Adjust your python script for surface creation in
order to save not as PLY but as GMSH "geo" file
using points and lines<br>
<br>
Point(1)={0,0,0} ;<br>
Point(2)={0,1,0} ;<br>
...<br>
<br>
Line(1) = {1,2};<br>
..<br>
and.. Line Loop & Surface -> Volume ..<br>
<br>
Then you will get a volume defined by geometric
entities. In this case is shoul be easier to create
a better mesh on surface and then on whole volume.<br>

<p class="MsoNormal">Hi,<br>

@ Roman:<br>
some more details:<br>
I have a point cloud given and generate the
surface mesh by myself (with python). I don't know
a good algorithm to create a volume mesh out of
this surface mesh - that's why I use gmsh for this
task.<br>
I also checked my surface mesh for double vertexes
but I didn't find any. What do you mean with
"double egdes"? Isn't there always a "double
edge", because two neighbour facets always have
one same edge?!<br>
<br>
I will send you a .step or .iges file as soon as I
figured out how to handle the "No OpenCASCADE
model found" error.<br>
<br>
I'm appending the other mailing history (with
Matthias) to this mail - sorry for that "double
mailing", I just forgot one time to "reply to all"
-.-<br>
Anyone else has an idea why the meshing fails?<br>

It is possible, that you will get your geometry
in other format? <br>
In your "ply" there is already a surface mesh
given. Try maybe use STEP, IGES,... as input-
then it is easer to recalculate the surface
mesh.<br>
<br>
In case of need of usage of "a dead mesh" -
maybe try first to remesh it (i.e. in blender
with modification Remesh) and/or clean it
(removing double vertexes and edges).<br>

Yes. You can try to the first Optimize
quality of tetra, or all of them (just try).<br>
<br>
I don't know how your model looks like. If
the elements on the surface are too big,
then the solid elements (probably
tetragonal) may be with intersecting edges
or faces. Therefore the reducing size of
element may help (especially on the
surfaces).<br>
<br>
Or- just share your model (ply) -in order to
be more precise.<br>

when you say "enable option: optimize",

And why is reducing element size
