Hello,
David helped me to fix femm 3.2 so that I can import DXF from Autocad
R14. But when I try to create mesh I get the message:Call to triangle
unsucessful. What is the problem?
My model consists of permanetmagnets placed on a steel plate with R
455 mm. It's for a magnet drum.

Help appreciated. I can send model if needed.

Just about the only thing that will throw triangle is if you have a geometry where two lines create a really small angle.  This can occur when you have, for example, a line that is tangent to a circle, as I think is the case in your problem.

Pretty much the only cure is to re-draw the problem, forcing an angle of at least 1 degree if the object really do have to meet at just one point of tangency or leaving a small gap between your magnets and your plates.

Dave.
