Hi, I'm a problem with a file that I have imported in Gambit. It is a .stl file and Gambit consider it as a NON-REAL VOLUME. But I want to convert it in a REAL volume, because I want to intersect this geometry with a sphere that I create directly in Gambit. My question is: how convert this geometry in a real vomlume? I have tryed, but an error occurred: the volume have to be MAPPED MESHED. But I can't create a mapped mesh for this geometry. Please, help me. Thank you very much. Simo

try to use other import format such as iges or acis

good luck

Hi, but my file is a .dbs (or .msh file, or .stl)... I can't open with acis or iegs, I suppose..

ok, I have expected that you can use import format you want. Where did you draw your geometry?

I have created a hospital room geometry whcihis divided into three volumes. Is it possible to mesh non-real volumes without converting into real ones?

Yes you can mesh non-real volumes
