  • 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?
    • 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?
