Hi,

I did a Topology Optimization routine to my part, after a static analysis. Right now I am facing 2 problems:

1)-I get an error when I try to link my optimized geoemetry to Design Validation module, both by means of geometry and model. The error is due to the .stl file not being smooth enough

2)-So I exported a smooth .stl file of my optimized geometry and imported it in a new static analysis. Now, when I try to mesh I get the following error:
"The mesh generation did not complete due to poor quality elements or incorrect input. Please try meshing with another mesh method or different mesh options. "
I tried many different element sizes, doing body mesh. However, the error remains.

Any ideias to circunvent/avoid the problems in 1) and 2)?

I thank you in advance,
Hugo Silva, R&D Engineer
