Glad to know that this probably isn&#39;t a major meshing issue!<br /><span><br /></span></p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://communities.bentley.com/thread/648455?ContentTypeID=1Fri, 07 May 2021 10:23:02 GMT6dad98f5-dbc9-4c4d-a9ba-e9da8dc6aa8e:6380f251-cc35-42fe-b861-5b2cff9ecc2cStefanos Papavasileiou<p>Dear Francisco,</p> <p>Indeed, these warnings are about the embedded beams that are intersecting with the generated soil elements. We have investigated these warnings and apart from some level of refinements (with care considering the embedded beam elements), there is not much to do about it.&nbsp;</p> <p>You can continue without considering them as an issue to your 3D generated mesh. In any case, as usual, we advise inspecting the generated mesh in Output and ensure a good quality value (as far as possible).</p> <p>These warnings were re-evaluated and in the future they will only be displayed if they are relevant to the project.</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>
