Mesh: faces with no faces

MarcelloAsciolla · April 21, 2018, 15:24

I got this error passing a model from the "geometry" block to the "mesh" one.

"A body was processed that had faces with no facets. Mesh generation and mass property calculations may be impacted".

But I am not understanding it.

Are not the facets created from the faces, so after the creation of the mesh?

I mean that I expect this kind of error after the creation of the mesh, why do I get it when I am importing a geometry in the mesh section so before the creation itself?
What does this refer exactly?

did you have any luck finding out what was the problem?

There was something wrong in the CAD model. I did a little simplification and everything worked fine.

Just for those who're still searching. I had the same problem with my Cad where i designed a wing with a rounded tip using loft in solidworks. I changed the approach by using surfacing and later used surface knit to change it into solid and now it works well.
