netgen - another meshing problem - app crashes

Hello,

I had a problem doing meshing for simple box geometry step file (attached) after using heal geometry. [The app crashes]

The meshing works fine without healing.

I’m using the latest version of netgen gui [NETGEN-6.2.2105-138-gd7be2c85] from here www.asc.tuwien.ac.at/~mhochsteger/ngsolve/windows/?C=M;O=D

The same file is meshed correctly in older version with and without the use of heal function, specifically NETGEN-6.2.2104-163-gd7a421b9

Steps to reproduce:

  1. load attached step file
  2. use heal geometry
  3. generate mesh

Your help is much appreciated.

Thanks

Hello,

Could you try the latest nightly build? This should be fixed by now.

Best,
Matthias

Thanks for your reply.

Ok, I tested again with latest nightly NETGEN-6.2.2105-154-gc63a865e, the app didn’t crash but the tetmeshing failed.
