Thanks Jakub for your help on the different topics; i’ve now a better understanding on how to proceed and this example has been (for me at least) very usefull.
I would ask to PrePoMax team if it’s possible to add the list of the elements involved in the error message (see post 1): with a bit more than 200 volumes, it is not straight forward to identify which one(s) must be modified.
My goal has ever been to used a 100% use of transfinite (i.e. fully automatic meshing); however it’s generally the case for simple geometries.
This example has to be reworked
- since “cuts” come from how i used freecad; some of them can be avoided
- the quality of the elements might be improved by splitting differently and by using a bias (need to check such option)
- choose different refinement
- etc

I also tested the gmsh export which seems to work fine; i used gmsh to test the elements quality (i think elements Jacobian are calculated - see picture)
Good … very encouraging
Thanks
Paul
