• Frequently Asked Questions
  • Which geometry file formats does Möbius support?
  • Why does my CAD file fail to upload?
  • What can I do if my geometry does not mesh?
  • Are there more advanced meshing settings?
  • Why did my simulation fail?
  • Why does the resulting shape look (nearly) the same as my design space?
  • Why do my resulting shapes look the same even though I selected different mesh refinements?
  • How do I check the logs?
  • Where can I find out about the status of the simulation?
  • What are the controls for the visualized geometry?
  • How do I copy my model setup to a new geometry?
  • The GUI is very simple. Is this all you can do with the solver?
  • Do I need to click through the GUI for every single setting, or is there a quicker way?
