Hi !

 

I have tried to build faces from the geometry menu and I have the error :

Geometry is not correct and must be corrected.

 

What can I do ? Why this error ?

 

For information, I am trying to follow the tutorial of the example MagnetoThermal in 3D.

 

Thanks in advance.

    Hi,

    In this case you need to check your geometry by using the command “check geometry” available in the menu “geometry”. The aim is to see the localization of your geomtric defects (intersection or superposition of the faces). Once the defects are localized, you need to correct him.

    Keep me informed if this helped.

     

    Best regards.

    hey,

     

    do you have any symmetries? When yes than look on your infinite box if there are lines on the symmetry planes. 

    Thats always my fault.
