How do I insert a closed surface mesh into an existing volume mesh and get rid of trapped tetras?
The following things may be tried out, • Save the two tetin files separately. • Merge both tetin files and define ORFN point inside the tetin file for which we want only surface mesh. Save this tetin file. • Merge the existing volume mesh and the new surface mesh • Load new tetin file & domain file • Run Make_consistent. • Now run Edit Mesh -> Utilities -> Flood fill. This basically finds out the material points and separates out the volume families. If it finds ORFN volume, it deletes that too. • If you again do Make_consistent, that also runs this flood fill as a part of make_consistent. Sometimes it may happen that after loading a tetin file, if a geometric entity is created it will be not used for mesh editing. This could be the source of problem.
