Swept mesh "Unsupported topology of linking face" error

The below post is related to an archived discussion


In creating swept meshes, I've encountered the "Unsupported topology of linking face" error message. This drove me crazy for months. I finally figured out the cause: The "linking faces" are those connecting the source face to the destination faces. In my model, some of those faces weren't continuous from src to dst--they were divided by an edge, as COMSOL often does with revolved surfaces. Simply healing each divided surface into a continuous one, for example with a Form Composite Face or Ignore Edge operation, resolved the meshing error. Voila!
