Cylindrical vessel - non positive jacobian error

Hi i have problems simulating this cylindrical vessel, am having a non positive jacobian error and i could not find the solution to my problem in the forum

Am using the axisymmetric for this simulation, sorry if the solution is obvious :frowning:

In axisymmetric models, all faces must lie to the right of the Y axis. That’s most likely why the left part of your geometry has this error.

If you want to simulate a complete vessel, rotate it so that Y axis is the axis of symmetry - that’s what CalculiX expects.

Also, you should refine the mesh significantly.

Thanks so muchhhhh i will try!!
