Hi!
I have some troubles when trying to generate the mesh of some wave fabrics. TexGen runs, but when it finishes, I open the file and there are all the nodes and elements, but there are not the elements of each yarn neither the element orientations. Some times only Nodes appear in the .inp file. But TexGen says everything it's well done. Have you some idea why this can be?
I could give more details if necessary.
Thanks everybody.

Hi Suso,
This sounds like a bug, but it's a bit hard to tell without more information. Please could you post some more details? Does this happen every time, or is it with one particular model and/or seed size etc.? Do you use the GUI or python? Any other information about what you are doing may be useful.
Cheers,
Jon.

Hi
Well, it's strange. I explain from th beginning. The model is 12x12x1.2 mm, and I generate it with a Python code. It's a three-layers model. So I run the code in Texgen and then, generate a quadratic, periodic mesh with seed size of 0.2 and the default tolerance of 0.001 with the interface in the main window. It runs, it finish, but when I go to see th generateed file in a text viewer, there are not the elements, Sets, etc. And now comes the strange thing. In my computer at the University, a really good machine, it doesn't work. BUT, I tried in my laptop, nothing special, and it meshes well, no problem with anything, everything ok. So, I've solved the problem in this way. Should it be because OS compatibilities? My laptop runs with windows XP and the computer at the university runs in Linux. It's curious.
The problem now, is the size of the elements, some of them so little for abaqus. Is there any command to increasethe size of the littlest ones? I think this is another kind of post, but anyway.
The main problem of meshing looks like be a bug depending on the OS, but it's really strange.
Thank you so much for your attention.

. If you put a link to this forum thread in the description then they'll know where to look.
