[Nek5000-users] Vanishing Jacobian error description

Hi, 

Sorry, yes that was for without the curve side data. Here is the case that includes the curved side data.

The case you sent runs fine.... is it w/ or w/o the curved side info?

The mesh was generated in gambit. I've developed a matlab code that will take a mesh created in gambit and generate the required REA formatting. I have created some basic shapes to test the matlab portion and the curved side portion, and it worked in most cases (not this one yet). I'm not sure what is going on with the curved side data in this case however. > > > > Thanks for looking at this, > > Michael > > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: nek5000-users at lists.mcs.anl.gov > To: "Nekton User List" > Sent: Tuesday, April 20, 2010 3:36:44 PM GMT -06:00 US/Canada Central > Subject: Re: [Nek5000-users] Vanishing Jacobian error description > > > > Michael, > > The code is trying to check to ensure that the mesh is > valid.
