Freecad CFDoF Meshing fails With refinement(s)

Post by hooshsim »

I have modeled a rotor installed in a box and meshing fails when I introduce refinements to the model. Model file and snapshot of the error message are attached.
Can someone review the setup and let me know what the problem might be. I can generate mesh with refinements, successfully.
Using FreeCAD version 0.20.2 installed on Windows 10
Thanks

Could it be that you are having problems with your cfMesh installation? You can check the dependency checker in edit => settings:

As @Raedchen_im_System says, this happens because the CfdOF version of cfMesh is not installed. If you run the dependency checker, it should tell you that. Installing cfMesh from the preferences panel should fix the issue.
