Hi,

I tried generating mesh for a project in PLAXIS 3D and got the following error.

Meshing failed with the following error:
Fatal: Could not generate mesh.

I have tried refining the mesh at the specified volumes and surfaces. I have also tried to refine the mesh coarseness but still the same error.

What alternate options can be tried to resolve this issue.
