<br>
No it is more clear. If you are working with cloud of point, then
you may use Meshlab for surface regeneration. There are many
software that are able to handle in a resonable way the cloud of
points (like rhino3D + resurf, other). But these are rather
commercial.<br>
<br>
From the other side - try to do the simplest thing:<br>
<br>
Adjust your python script for surface creation in order to save
not as PLY but as GMSH "geo" file using points and lines<br>
<br>
Point(1)={0,0,0} ;<br>
Point(2)={0,1,0} ;<br>
...<br>
<br>
Line(1) = {1,2};<br>
..<br>
and.. Line Loop & Surface -> Volume ..<br>
<br>
Then you will get a volume defined by geometric entities. In this
case is shoul be easier to create a better mesh on surface and
then on whole volume.<br>

<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Hi,<br>
<br>
@ Roman:<br>
some more details:<br>
I have a point cloud given and generate the surface mesh by
myself (with python). I don't know a good algorithm to create a
volume mesh out of this surface mesh - that's why I use gmsh for
this task.<br>
I also checked my surface mesh for double vertexes but I didn't
find any. What do you mean with "double egdes"? Isn't there
always a "double edge", because two neighbour facets always have
one same edge?!<br>
<br>
I will send you a .step or .iges file as soon as I figured out
how to handle the "No OpenCASCADE model found" error.<br>
<br>
I'm appending the other mailing history (with Matthias) to this
mail - sorry for that "double mailing", I just forgot one time
to "reply to all" -.-<br>
Anyone else has an idea why the meshing fails?<br>
<br>
Regards and thank you a lot,<br>

<pre wrap="">Hi Steffen,
I don't see either why the meshing fails, sorry.

intersections (this could take a while)
Oh I'm really sorry, here is the file.
In addition I sent you also the intersect.pos. I don't understand why exactly
these surfaces are problematic and the "neighbour surfaces"
aren't - although they have the same geometry =/

<pre wrap="">Hi Steffen,
if you don't provide the myfile.ply2, we cannot see your geometry...
<span class="moz-smiley-s3" title=";)"></span> You can visualize intersect.pos by merging it to your geometry.
HTH,

It is possible, that you will get your geometry in other
format? <br>
In your "ply" there is already a surface mesh given. Try maybe
use STEP, IGES,... as input- then it is easer to recalculate
the surface mesh.<br>
<br>
In case of need of usage of "a dead mesh" - maybe try first to
remesh it (i.e. in blender with modification Remesh) and/or
clean it (removing double vertexes and edges).<br>

Yes. You can try to the first Optimize quality of tetra,
or all of them (just try).<br>
<br>
I don't know how your model looks like. If the elements on
the surface are too big, then the solid elements (probably
tetragonal) may be with intersecting edges or faces.
Therefore the reducing size of element may help
(especially on the surfaces).<br>
<br>
Or- just share your model (ply) -in order to be more
precise.<br>

when you say "enable option: optimize", you mean" Tools
-> Options -> Mesh -> Advanced -> Optimize
quality of tetrahedra, Optimize quality of tetrahedra
with Netgen, Optimize high order meshes (experimental)"
?<br>
And why is reducing element size important? In my case
it is important that the object has such "90 degree
corners".<br>

If your volume is OK (is really a closed one) - try
to:<br>
<br>
1. Reduce element size (especially in a curved shapes)<br>
2. Enable option "Optimize" - in mesh options <br>

I'm a gmsh beginner and I want to create a 3D volume

Can anyone tell me what I have to do to create a 3D

intersect.pos). <br>
Sorry for my poor english. <br>
