error: could not resolve domain relations

Please login with a confirmed email address before reporting spam

I'm trying to create a model with 2 permanent magnets (cube boxes), hexahedron ferromagnetic features to focus the magnetic field and another ferromagnetic part (rectangle in the middle) which will be moving and a air box surrounding whole parts. When I try to build the geometry I'm getting "could not resolve domain relations". I installed the latest patch for version 4.1, tried to change relative repair tolerance. It didn't work.

what could be the problem?

Just looking at this real quick, when I disabled the geometry items FG1 and FG2 and rebuilt it all, the problem went away. Sometimes when building a geometry, switching back and forth between the mesh feature (meshing as you go along) and geometry will also give you a clue as to something being wrong and knowing with feature is not working.

Now why is it not working? That I am not sure about. What I would try and do is this: draw your wedges using a workplane and then extrude. it would be easy enough to free hand this in a 2D plane. Just set your background grid to a decent spacing between points that meets your needs. You really only need to draw one of them since you seem to have symmetry in your model. You can then do a mirror operation for it. For that matter, you could really draw in half your model and them mirror for the other half. Many ways to do the same thing.
