SVOB or SVOS in SofimshC?


The 7 surfaces creates a closed brep (a volume).
When using

SVO GRP 1 MNO 1
SVOB (1 7)

It shows error

+++++ error no. 12115 ; input line: 15
0 Leading generations
+++++ error no. 345 in program readStructuralSolid
Structural region 1001: boundary curves are missing or defective.

This official example:
\Sofistik\sofimshc.dat\english\volume_modeling\tet_volume_2mat.dat
use a command “svos” which is NOT available in the SofimshC manual, the manual has “svob” instead.
If I change from “svos” to “SVOB” in “tet_volume_2mat.dat”, it shows the same error as before:

+++++ error no. 345 in program readStructuralSolid
Structural region 1: boundary curves are missing or defective.
+++++ error no. 345 in program readStructuralSolid
Structural region 2: boundary curves are missing or defective.

It looks like “svob” doesn’t work at all.
SO I change from “svob” to “svos” in " SofimshC - Vol.dat"
When running it, it shows different error

+++++ warning no. 2369 in program sm_generateTetrahedralMesh ; input line: 12
Structural volume 1: 340 quad elements were not identified as part of a closed volume. Affected Region (SAR) 1 or QUAD 10
+++++ error no. 2365 in program sm_generateTetrahedralMesh ; input line: 12
Structural volume 1: The boundary surfaces of the volume do not form a closed hull.

SVOS is an older command, you should probably use SVOB.
You entered the numbers under the type identifier and you should give an increment when using a generator.
This should work:
´SVOB NO (1 7 1)´

You might also want to use larger element sizes in a test file.

Thanks

  1. (1 7 1) works
  2. SVOB doesn’t work, I have to use SVOS

SVOB NO (1 7 1) works on my system.
I think you are forgetting the NO.
