Now I have another problem. After I imported the geometry, which contains out of several solids, and assigned physical volumes, surfaces and characteristic length the mesh is nonconformal. When I activated sew faces before importing, I have no Volumes in the statistic, so I cant assign physical Volumes. Unfortunately I'm not allowed to upload the step file here. <br /><br />I have used the search function and some years ago there was a discussion with Dr. Zenker in 2013 : </span></p>
