Hi,
I have been trying to fix warnings of the model. The model is imported from revit.
I cannot fix the warnning incoherent mesh on edge... I tried to follow the following posts
http://forums.autodesk.com/t5/Autodesk-Robot-Structural/Meshing-into-robots-2012/td-p/3310651
but still couldn't fix the warning.please suggest
Michal.
Hint no 1 : wall panels should be defined as a serie of panels "from level to level" not as a one or two panels along full building heigth.
Hint no 2 : I do not see you have set meshing parameters as shown on the link you found and posted (try these settings maybe with mesh size 1m at the begining)
Hint 3: mesh slabs first,then walls
Hint 4 : correct model as stated in hint 1
Hint 5 : if possible please send me Revit model.
I will do my best with this model.

Dear Rafal,
I greatly appreciate your quick reply
quick question
Hint no 1:
-Should the columns be assigned as level to level too? As some column running through multiple levels. I will remodel the revit model as your suggestion.
Hint no 2:
-the meshed model was too big to be attached to the post
hint no4:
-I do not have the revit model with me at the moment. I will correct the model as per your suggestion as soon as I get back to my office and send you the model if possible.
Thanks again for your quick reply
Michael
Hi Rafal,
I took the following step according to your hint 3
-first I set advanced meshing option for both slabs and walls as following
I have also set "Iterative adjustment of the FE mesh" in job preference
- i select all slabs and run "local mesh generation"
-did the same for walls
-then run calculation
i still get the following errors
did i go wrong somewhere?
If possible please explain steps you took to make the model works.
Thank you in advance.
Michael

In case of running RC design in robot or getting story \ strories results - yes.
-the meshed model was too big to be attached to the post
But meshing correct options were not set in attached file
-I do not have the revit model with me at the moment. I will correct the model as per your suggestion as soon as I get back to my office and send you the model if possible.
If possible adjust revit analytical model move("align") slab egdes to wall analytical model in places where this distance is small for eg 0,5*wall thickness.
-first I set advanced meshing option for both slabs and walls as following
Still wrong settings - greyed out field settings are also important.
did i go wrong somewhere?
No but it is not that easy, you have to make some manipulatinos manually also.
If possible please explain steps you took to make the model works.
OK, I will.

Procedure for model you send me in attached pdf.
