I did this with the Jan-Version...

btw... sometimes the Jan-Version tells me about insufficient memory while mesh exporting -.-
the Nov-version exports the same mesh without any problem... not exactly tested yet

Hi buk,

Do you happen to have a version of that object just after the holes have been cut but before applying the fillets?

If I can get that version then I can try to repeat the fillets over here and maybe have a chance to see what is going wrong.

It's unfortunately really hard to try and understand what is going wrong just by looking at the messed-up final results rather than being able to debug it as the problem is actually happening.

Is this with this same object, or another one?

Do you happen to have a multi-core machine? If so, then what are your machine specs, like what amount of system memory do you have?

The new release will use multiple cores during meshing, but one side effect of that is that it will also take up more memory since it is doing more work at the same time than the previous version. If you have multiple cores but not a lot of system memory then this could be a problem.

It is possible to limit the new Jan-19 build to only use 1 single core which should should also limit memory usage to the same level as previously. To do that, there is a setting in the moi.ini file, set:

[Mesh Export]
ThreadLimit=1

But if you could tell me some more info about your system specs that might be useful for me to better understand the problem.

Thanks,
- Michael

short info before I'm in bed...

my system is a simple AMD Sempron 64 runs at 2 GHz with 4 GB RAM (OS: WinXP Home)... no cores but the one ;)

YES, the object was the same (the teapot to complete my teapot warmer ^^), I'll retesting the situation tomorrow and post the results here... last days it works great with Jan/Nov-Version by meshing angles greater than 5 degrees... below 5 only the Nov-Version succeeds..

cu tomorrow

Hi buk,

I see - but do you mean exactly the same object that you posted previously that has the trims that were messed up by the filleter?

I'm not surprised that messed up trims may cause strange results like some attempt to make a hugely complex mesh.... Unfortunately that model will need to have those holes reconstructed in order to make a model that can be meshed properly.

You may get all kinds of odd results with it in that current state.

no, I ment a teapot (not the warmer)...

no I retried the exports and everything works fine... maybe last time I executed to much applications in background, so that's no error in MoI.

Thanks 4 support =)
