Mesh error

Mesh error

Hello,

I'm a student from Germany and a newbie in using Liggghts.
I'm trying to import a STL-File from a CAD-Software and I get the following error:

Reading STL file 'behaelterNX.stl'
Setting up run ...
ERROR: Mesh error: dimensions too small - use different unit system (multi_node_mesh_parallel_I.h:536)

I have no idea what's wrong with my code or with my STL file and I hope that I get some help here in this forum.
During the simulation several particles should fall into a container and later I want the container to move.

Thank you for your help.

STL-binary

Hi,

your STL-file is in binary format, but it should be in ASCII.

Hi,

Hi,
thank you, problem is solved now.
But I have a new question:
In order to visualize my solutions I use pizza and open the VTK-files with paraview. While using the glyph filter I have problems with the radius of the spheres. In my simulation I set particle diameter to 0.08m. I can set the diamater of the spheres to the same value in paraview but the particles are far too small. With a value of d=0.4 I get good results. Why there is a difference?
Thank you for your answers.
