ERROR: adapt_type = coarsen (5) is currently only implemented for input_micro and input_spn file formats

Coreform Cubit Meshing
#1

Hello,
I am trying to mesh a complex STL model using SCULPT. When I try adaptive meshing with “Average Cell Volume Fraction” I get the following error:

ERROR: adapt_type = coarsen (5) is currently only implemented for
input_micro and input_spn file formats.

What are those file formats? Can I use that adapt type for my meshing?

I would greatly appreciate your help.

Best,
Hom

Here’s where you can find those definitions

Thanks for the quick response!
Is there a workaround to use the “Average Cell Volume Fraction” adapt type for the STL model?
