Mesh creation in Creo Simulate fails with message: "AutoGEM may not be able to complete because the volume boundaries either intersect or overlap near the highlighted surfaces"

Modified: 03-Aug-2017   


Applies To

  • Creo Parametric 1.0 to 2.0

Description

  • Mesh creation fails with the diagnostic message:
    • Could not complete creating elements on all of the selected entities.
  • Only a partial set of elements was created and AutoGEM restarted automatically
  • When it fails again, the only additional info is:
    • AutoGEM may not be able to complete because the volume boundaries either intersect or overlap near the highlighted surfaces.
  • The surfaces seem to relate to some shell pairs, but there is no way of figuring out what is overlapping
  • Need better diagnostics
