Re: Why does FEM meshing doesn't generate volume elements in some cases
The good news is that we found the root cause of the issue and fixed it (thanks to ickby). The issue was coming from the fact that each MESH was initializing a Generator within SMESH while it shouldn't and that a single Generator should be initialized. The code has been modified to support this and it works perfectly without the hugly hack I had

guys these are pleasant news ...
BTW with the following commands Calculix can be installed on debian jessie

Thanks for the hint ! My last week has been quite busy at debugging my pull request. it did works now. (at least travis build goes through). I might be jetlaged next week but will have more time to jump back on the forum !

I Guess I've got the same issue. But I unable to find the reason with my model. Is someone can give me a hint? thks

Re: Why does FEM meshing doesn't generate volume elements in some cases
Your file does not contain a mesh. Which means I do not know what would you like to mesh. Leave the mesh inside the file, but make a right click on the mesh and clear the mesh. This will delete the mesh data, but since the mesh object could be stay in the analysis. for posting the file on the forum.

Ahh and the screen for all other to see what we gone talk about.

Re: Why does FEM meshing doesn't generate volume elements in some cases
If the object Pedestal the one you would like to mesh than it is easy to find the problem. Just make a Part check Geometry and have a look ath the contents of your geometry. There is no solid inside. Means your geometry is a shell not a solid. Thus you get a shell mesh on meshing. If you would like a volume mesh you should pass solid geometry to the mesh object. Screen attached. Furthermore it has self intersections. MAy be they are the reason why you do not have solid geometry. BTW: Even if you would have solid geometry such selfintersections could lead to problems on meshing (could ... means may be, may be not ... ) but that is another story ... First you should pass solid geometry!
