Comsol 3.4 Error - 4028 An invalid cavity was detected

Please login with a confirmed email address before reporting spam

Hi everyone.
i have a problem with Comsol:
I created a 3d model of a shell with a complex geometry in proe
Description of geometry: a shell with a gap inside. This results in two shells (thickness 6 mm and 5 mm) linked at base with an air gap inside (24 mm ). I've imported 2 shells of different thickness and i use the "difference" button.
I've imported my model in Comsol without problems. But when i wanted to realize the mesh, one surface of shell gave me this error (it was the external half surface of the external shell). I've noticed this problem even before meshing: when i clicked on the "boundary settings" button i saw this surface of the shell vanishing.

To solve my problem i tried to create the "missing surface" with proe and subsequently to import it in comsol. I clicked on "union" button and comsol gave me this error : Error: 2100 Internal error in geometry decomposition
Maybe it can be a tollerance problem but i don't know.
I 'll be very grateful if someone helps me

Does it give you a coordinate for where the cavity is? Have you tried zooming into that general area to observe how the mesh looks? What is the mesh quality in that region?
