Dear experts,
Volume component says that one of my meshes “TetraMesh” is open and thus it cannot compute the volume (error dumped: Volume cannot be computed for an open mesh). The other “CubeMesh” was included as control. Both were generated using an in-house GhPython script. OpenMesh.gh (17.9 KB)
However, I think that both are closed meshes since I cannot see any opening.
Can you help me to make Volume component work again? Is something wrong with my mesh? Thanks!
Thanks a lot HS_Kim for the instantaneous response!
The Combine&Clean Kangaroo2 component you´ve suggested is the solution!
I thought that duplicate vertices was not a problem since the Volume component works perfectly with “CubeMesh” (it has redundant vertices as well).
Does anybody know how to remove redundant vertices directly from GH python? I already used the following python methods in mesh generation, but they do not do the job…
mesh.Normals.ComputeNormals()
mesh.Compact()
@Vigardo you can use:
mesh.Vertices.Align(dist)
See the documentation for details.
Thanks,
Giulio

Hi Giulio, thanks for your help!
Unfortunately, I was not able to make it work: OpenMesh_re2.gh (22.6 KB). Despite your method returns “5”, I can´t see any reduction in the number of vertices… what am I doing wrong? Thanks!
