Hi,

 

I can create outer surface mesh of tetra solid by below commands.

But may I know how to create outer surface mesh without delete solid mesh because I afraid that when I create tetra mesh again, it may be not same the previous result.

    There are multiple ways to do it. This one i feel is one of the straight forward ways. Please do the following steps. 

     

    1. Select all the faces . 

    2. Go to Body > Create > From Faces > Duplicate and  make non shared faces 

    3. Select Ok 

    This will create tri elements of the outer surfaces.
