mehs hollow outer mesh in hex

Altair Forum User

Hi,

How can I mesh the hollow surface mesh into a solid hex mesh keeping the same outer surface mesh please?

Thank you

Go to 2D spline>> Create elements by selecting nodes

Go to 3D >> Solid Map>> End only>> select the new elements created and select the nodes on the circumference of the other side and click mesh /emoticons/default_smile.png' srcset='/emoticons/smile@2x.png 2x' title=':)' width='20'>

@Prakash Pagadala I tried your method, but I can't get solid mesh which respects the outer surface mesh (on the height). Any idea?

Hi @Q.Nguyen-Dai

Here is the result for the procedure I quoted:

Hi @Prakash Pagadala,

I don't think your result is asked by @dilen. Have a look at my screenshot.

Hi, do you have a version which is compatible with Hypermesh 13.0 please?

Thank you.

If you can't read my model, try the following FEM format.

Thanks but I'm not sure how you did it. What are the steps please?

Thanks

QuyNguyenDai

Hehe, I can't found 'automatic' method, so I do that 'manually':

Make 2D mesh for top surface
Project top surface mesh to bottom face and do manual correction to fit (equivalent) the lateral mesh
Do '3D' => 'Linear solid' between top & bottom surface meshes.
Do manual correction to equivalent created solid mesh and lateral mesh.

@Q.Nguyen-Dai thanks for pointing that. Not a fruitful method. /emoticons/default_smile.png' srcset='/emoticons/smile@2x.png 2x' title=':)' width='20'>
