Hi everyone!

I am using Comsol 3.5a and cannot figure it out, how to mesh this attached model ... I tried everthing from free mesh predefined mesh sizes (all of them) to boundary layer mesh but I'm still getting errors during mesh. Would anyone be so kind to help me, please, I really need this.

Thanks!

I opened your model in Comsol 4.3b. Your problem is the very thin (2e-5m) layer on the top of the block. The four cones in the center I meshed with tetrahedra of the minimum element size 1e-4, deleted the thin layer, and did the rest with free tetrahedra. No problem.

Hence, you need to deal with the very thin layer in another way, perhaps via the boundary condition - I do not know better as I do not remember any more how 3.5 works.

Continues...

Set the resolution of narrow regions to 1e-5, for example. That makes the trick.

Thanks for reply and helping me Lasse!
I will try to work this out ... on the other hand I am thinking that it would be great if I go to higher Comsol version. I think they are more user friendly and not so buggy :)

Thanks again!
