"Mesh is not convex" when importing EDEM Polyhedral Particle Shape

User: "Travis Shoemaker"

Hello,

EDEM provides the error message "Mesh is not convex" when I import a polyhedral particle shape. I have checked that the mesh is watertight and that all normals point inwards. I have included a screenshot showing the particle shape and I have included the geometry as an STL file. This is a very simple mesh, and therefore, I am unsure what the issue could be. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

    Hi Travis,

     

    Thanks for reporting this and providing the file. I had a look and also was unable to import this, I've reported it to the product team for review.


    Regards

    Stephen

    Hi Travis,


    Just to follow-up would it be possible to change the normals so they point outwards rather than inwards?
