Hi all,
I am using VTK to reconstruct a boundary from images, written as 'stl' file,
and next I want to apply Gmsh to generating tetrahedron inside this boundary .
The problem is Gmsh can read it while cannot 3D mesh it. Is there any solution
to this question?
Any help will be appreciated!
Best Regards

Hey Liz,
the first two likely reasons that spring to my mind are:
1. The stl describes only a surface. If you want a volume to be meshed,
you have to declare a volume in gmsh. To do this, chose the geometry
menu, add a volume, select the surface to define a volume from it.
2. The stl might have holes. You would need to plug these first.
Hope this helps.
