Hello I am trying to import a very simple nas mesh file into comsol. But i got an error message which says: "Mesh is incorrect. -Detail: Vertex index out of range."

I could not figure out why. Can anybody help ?

The mesh is attached.

Thanks, Quan

Hi Quan,

The problem with this file is that the GRID lines contain "Grid" instead of all uppercase "GRID". If you make that change the import works as expected. Was this file created by another software or was it created manually? We haven't seen NASTRAN mesh files with "Grid" written in that way, but if such files are created from another software, we will look into relaxing the requirement that the dataset names are written using all uppercase letters.

Best regards,

Thanks, Magnus.

It is generated by myself using matlab. I think even if you dont relax the uppercase requirement because it was not generated from a standard process, you should change the error message so that it is easier for the users to debug.

Hi Quan

If you have LiveLink for Matlab then you can use the API for setting up a mesh without having to resport to using a file.

See the section Getting and Setting Mesh Data in the Programming Reference Manual for more infomation. For a standard mesh you only have to specify vertices (setVertex) and elements (setElem). See the attached example.
