[Resolved] "Meshing exited with error" with no info on said error.

Post by FelixP »

Hello everyone,

This is my first post here so please excuse any missed formalities and make sure to point out anything that I should've provided to get the best help possible.

I'm currently attempting to mesh a geometry through the CfdOF workbench with both gmsh and cfMesh. Both return "Meshing exited with error" in the status window.
Here is the info that gmsh gives me:

I checked the log and there is no additional information regarding this as far as I've seen.
A mesh in generated in the meshCase file under a .msh format.

Cfmesh does not give me anything in the report or the log and still returns "Meshing exited with error".

Here is my copied FreeCAD info:
OS: Windows 10 Version 2009
Word size of OS: 64-bit
Word size of FreeCAD: 64-bit

OCC version: 7.5.3

Let me know if any additional detail would help.

Best,

Felix

Here is the file I used. It will be used to model external flow around a sphere.

Could you update your workbench and try again? I suspect I introduced a bug yesterday...

Hi,

I updated the workbench and indeed it fixed the issue.

Thank you so much!
