Hello everyone,

i Wanted to to ask if anybody can help me out with this issue, seems that every model i import into houdini trough obj, once the finite solver is applied return this error, i have no idea on how to fix this, i have try watching the tetrahedralize node, but i can't fix it.

I am totaly new to houdini so would be very kind if someone could give me any tips

thanks

Seems like the problem rely in the mesh, but i cannot understand how to “prepare” correctly the mesh in houdini, i have tried importing it in mudbox, but its not returning any error so i wonder how or where i could check the integrity of the mesh to work with the solver…any clues?

The PolyDoctor node? Not sure if it will help but there is a Topology tab in there.

It's probably not an issue on your machine, but this hip file seems to be missing its rose object resource file.



I'm still trying to learn about all the capabilities in the new solid solver tools. But it seems its error messages are sometimes just temporary warnings.
