infinite loops in clean

[krober10nd]

• If inverted elements appear (negative qualities), then msh.clean will not be able to exit and repeat the connectivity improvement code infinitely.

does this still happen? the idea was that it would do additional cleaning that would correct the inverted elements and eventually become positive.

[krober10nd]

rarely but yes, it can still happen. I haven't done much meshing in recent months using OM. But sometimes you have to tinker with the cleaning operations to avoid this to happen.

Almost always I turn the implicit smoother off. Lately, I just use the patch smoother in areas that I want better qualities.

Yeah maybe the implicit smoother should be discouraged
