Meshing progress bar

[Anonymous]

Solid meshing (checking) a model, the meshing progress goes up to 4 bars, counts back down to 0 bars, goes back up to 2 bars, counts back down to 0 bars & ultimately does not mesh. Anyone else run into this?

Thanks.

Maybe it's the solid mesh type that's giving you that problem. I have had similar problems, but after changing the solid mesh to All Tetrahedra in the meshing option, it meshed just fine.

This is intentional and as accurate of an assessment of progress that we can make.  If the mesher encounters difficulties, it will attempt to go back and remesh the earlier entities is a different fashion.

Note this can happen later in meshing as well, ie you could see it got to 10 bars and then go back to 8 (but not all of the way back to 0).
