Importing 1D-2D into another mesh for creating volume mesh

Use of the platform

I usually create a 1D-2D mesh with NETGEN in “Mesh_1” with good surface control before importing them into “Mesh_2” for volume mesh. I have been using this method for testing various wing geometries. The script have been working well.

Now when I try to implement the same strategy for a full aircraft model, the “Mesh_2” throws an error saying that “the imported mesh does cover the entire geometry”. I have modified the script carefully and even tried redoing the entire procedure manually for the aircraft model, but the error still persists.

I have tried making the mesh finer, exporting Mesh_1 and then reimporting them. Is there any way to fix it?

Hello,
I’m not sure to understand why you need to import and export meshes. Why don’t you create mesh_1 then just use it in the same hdf for building mesh_2 ? How are you doing this export/import operation ? Could you provide us with a little bit more details ?

Best,
Louis

Sorry for the confusion. That is the strategy that I usually use.
When it did not work, I read somewhere to try and export the surface mesh into MED and then read it back before volume meshing.

Kind regards,
