Hi everybody,<br>
<br>
<br>
I passed yesterday afternon, trying to fixe it but I found nothing.<br>
<br>
For my master thesis I have to compute centrifugale force on a micro-compressor. I have not design it myself but I can redesign it, if its needed (but I prefer not).<br>
When I 3D mesh it, I have an error message :<br>
<br>
Error : Self intersecting surface mesh, computing intersections (this could take a while)<br>
<br>
But, only the 2D mesh is available.<br>
<br>
What can I do ?<br>
<br>
<br>
Adrien<br>
<br>
PS : Sorry for my poor english.<br>
<br>
