Hi I keep getting Error The material point is not inside the Bounding box. I have tried moving it to many locations all in side the bounding box but i still get the error. I have not had this problem in the past. any ideas please

@jjanczyk It seems the problem is with the y-min and y-max values for the bounding box. y-min has a value of 0, and y-max is -10.24. If you interchange them, the issue should be resolved.

Hi tttony, yesterday I had the same problem and was also not able to solve it. Can anybody help?

Hi @tttony and @jjanczyk , could you pop up a link? Kind regards, Darren Lynch

Hello @tttony , I can reproduce this in your public project Drag Comp. I keep you updated and resolve the issue once a fix is available. Best Alex

Hi Alex Thank you I have just noticed it does the same in all my old projects if I try to rerun any of them as well? Thanks Tony

Hi @tttony , @jjanczyk , for the Drag Comp project, the bounding box dimensions are incorrect: minimum x and z are larger than their maximum. If you switch the values, the operation will be OK. Please have a look and let us know if this solves it. We will add a check to make sure this is not allowed …

Hi @gholami , in my project it happens after I copieed an existing mesh operation for reuse with another geometrie. Nothing was changed at the mesh operation tree only the geometry was exchanged which was nearly in same dimension as the geometry I used before. I got the message to the wrong material…

I see. Could you check if the material point issue occurs in the project? If not, I will follow it up in the other topic you opened and conclude this one.

Hi @gholami , I have switched the dimensions but still have the same Error. Also doing it this way I cannot get the dimensions I want to use. If you look at some of my other projects you will see i have always used very similar dimensions with the minimum being greater than the max without any issue…

@tttony , did you change it in the same project? I just had a look, Background Mesh Box dimensions in the first mesh are not correct. This is what I see: [image] If you’ve changed it in another project, would you share a link here? This check has been introduced recently to avoid certain meshing …

Hi @gholami,

Thanks that has fixed it. I was confussed I was not aware of the recent check addition.
Thanks again
Tony
