Meshing a joined assembly from solidworks

Hi, 

 

I am trying to mesh a cylinder with internal profile. I have created a design space and non design space separately in solidworks. I joined them into a new part and imported it into hypermesh. I am able to select design and non-design spaces very easily. 

 

The problem is with meshing. I think there are duplicate surfaces and free edges which created. So I have been trying this since long and it is giving meshing errors. 

 

When I do tetrameshing, a temp 2d element component is created. 

 

I tried equivalence, removing free edges and T connections. Still not able to resolve. I wanted to try deleting duplicate syrfaces, but it gives an error saying surfaces attached to solids cannot be deleted. Is there any way to mesh this model.

 

I have attached the .hm file here

 

THanks in advance.

    looks like you just have solid geoemtry, in any case you can go to delete and delete solids > uncheck delete bounding surfaces > to be left with just surfaces to edit. 

     

    you will have to try different element sizes as well, along with the other parameters in the tetrameshing panel.
