[sparta-users] Edge not part of 2 vertices

[Christian R. <cri...@mi...>]

Hi Devs, all,

I was presented with the following error while trying to run a read_surf command:

ERROR on proc 0: CH: Edge not part of 2 vertices

The manual has this to say about the error:

"Edge not part of 2 vertices
This is an error when calculating how a 3d grid is cut or split by surface elements. It should not normally occur. Please report the issue to the SPARTA developers."

I see that there is another post on this mailing list about this same issue from 2021 - is anyone aware of how that instance of the issue was resolved?

More potentially useful context:

  1.  I am using the latest release of SPARTA (13-Apr2023)
  2.  The command that threw the error had the form read_surf file.name trans x y z
  3.  This message was printed to the screen a few lines above the error in question: Cut3d failed on proc 0 in cell ID: 237759

Any insight is appreciated! In the meantime I will try to circumvent the error by creating my original STL slightly differently.

Cheers,

Christian
