kanzuregene: can you possibly regenerate the STL file, and this time not include any holes?13:57
kanzureI think it's getting messed up. in that image, you see how the red lines don't really go all the way to the outlets. yeah, that's bad.13:57
kanzureand at the center of the spiral, there's no floor. this is after I ran it through 'netgen'- in an attempt to fix what's wrong with the stl file13:58
kanzurethere's something like an invalid triangle being generated or something13:58
kanzureso if you can give me the original CAD file in some format like IGES or STEP, I can then generate the proper STL stuff for CFD analysis voodoo magic.13:58

kanzurecan anyone figure out how I can trick myself into writing this essay for the home ?18:30
kanzurethey have an application form apparently18:30
kanzureso if I fail the essay, do I get de-moted to something lesser than The Home?18:30
kanzureI don't understand18:30

kanzurein the file name that you sent me18:40
kanzureoh crap, bad font. sorry.18:40

kanzure"WARNING: intersecting elements 2433 and 268"18:42
genethat's it we're using comsol18:43
kanzureor you just give me the iges and step file like I asked?18:43
kanzureif you hadn't used fucking proprietary software in the first place, we wouldn't have this problem18:43
kanzurelet's not repeat the same mistake.18:43
kanzurebtw, there's still a problem with the stl file18:44
kanzurehttp://heybryan.org/bioreactor/membraneless_filtration/2009-03-28_2_problem2.png18:45
kanzuredo you know what that is, and can you fix that?18:45
kanzure(that's at the center)18:45
genewell too bad proprietary software is easy to use18:45
kanzurebut that doesn't account for upstream effects.18:46

kanzuresomeone's STL exporter utility must suck19:06
kanzuregene: do you know how to fix it?19:19
kanzurespecifically it has something to do with the triangles somewher near the bottom just at the origin (in the center) where it starts to curl, on the inner-edge.19:19

kanzurehttp://heybryan.org/bioreactor/membraneless_filtration/2009-03-28_2_problem2.png19:30
kanzurealthough that might not be it- since there are some weird things you can do in netgen and zooming in starts to make it look like it's doing some impossible manifold shape19:30

fennunless you're talking about brehmsstrahlung19:49
genepapers I read talked about brehmsstrahlung19:49
fennthat's just x-rays, not likely to stop a missile (except for when the plasmoid collides with something)19:50
fennoh, actually, the plasmoid is neutrally charged isn't it?19:51
genewait19:51
fennso it wouldn't induce a current19:51
fennif it collides with something and the magnetic fields collapse, that energy has to go somewhere19:51
geneyeah19:53
genethey say the magnetic field is 0.5 tesla19:53
fennthat's just the flux density19:53

kanzurewhat the hell? I thought you were using a CAD program?21:16
genehold on21:22
genei'll get rid of bifurcation21:22
kanzureI don't think that's the problem, but if you want, how about you get rid of the bifurcation, then make an STL file; then also try adding filler in between the very curved edge and the input wall21:23
kanzureand make an STL of that too. we can try both.21:23
kanzureoh21:35
kanzurethe problem might be that the wall at that point is going past the concavity due to the curl21:36
