Error when Importing ExodusII Refined Hex Model

[cap79]

Hello!

I have found an issue when importing a ExodusII mesh model that includes Hex Elements that were refined in Trelis. Transition elements seem to have been given a bogus definition and are excluded from the mesh on import (see attached pictures). This issue also shows up in my simulation when importing from ExodusII. Interestingly, this error does not occur in my older version of Cubit.

Below is a .jou script to build a test.g file for your reference. Any ideas on how to fix this issue would be greatly appreciated!

Best regards,
Andy

set exodus netcdf4 off
set large exodus file on
export mesh “test.g” overwrite
undo group end

We found the issue and will fix this. Are you able to use the previous version for now?

I am able to use Cubit 13.2 for the time being; however, it would be really helpful to have a patch. I use the refinement feature and export to ExodusII in all my models, so I’m not able to use Trelis at all.

Thanks very much,
Andy
