Hi,

I am using cfMesh for about 6 months and I am so satisfied with this Meshing-Tool, thanks a lot!

This is my commonly used workflow:
  1. Generate some stl's with different programs
  2. merge each stl-file to one stl
  3. convert it to one ftr- or fms-file
  4. mesh
But I noticed one problem:

If I convert a complex stl-file to a fms- or ftr-file with surfaceFeatureEdges (I'm used to it) I will get the following error:

Code:
Segmentation fault (core dumed)
Does anyone have a hint for me?
Thx

How many triangles are present in the surface mesh? Can you please post the stack trace from gdb?

I have had problems importing large stl files because some indices used to go out of scope. This usually happened with triangulations consisting of more that 15 million triangles. If that is the case, you will have to make your triangulation coarser.

yes, you are right. The stl-file which I used was too large and complex. Thank you!
