Error while running the batch file, translation from .off to .tet #23

Dear Zhang,

As of now I have taken the following steps: Created a simple beam geometry in abaqus, meshed it, applied loads and ran the simulation. Thereafter I extract the file in .obj format and import it in Meshlab so that it can then be translated and exported as a .off file. Now this .off file is supposed to applied in the batch file as instructed, but I get an error as depicted in the pictures presented. Meaning that I cannot generate the .tet file since the step before that does not respond.

How would this particular issues be tackled best?

Thank you for your time!

It seems the mesh quality is not good enough to generate the TET model from the OFF model, I suggest to remesh the OFF file and then generate the TET again until there is no warning like "Invilide PLC".

how and where is the instruction to convert OFF to TET files? How do I do this on ubuntu?

mark-o-polo commented 1 week ago

@beeekey the instructions are all under the Tet_generation_S3.zip, step by step process should be explained in a good manner.

@zhangty019 I unfortunately am still having problems with the usage of the slicer software. As can be seen here in the picture, I am unable to use 1.1-1.7 once I've imported the meshed and translated files. Why is that the case and are there any tips to get around it and successfully reinforce the volume imported? image
