What does "Faces(=1289) per solid over limit (610)" mean?

Altair Forum User

Hi Guys,

 

i importet a tool as one solid. is it a Little bit complex.  it is importet as an 3D-Model so i want to Mesh ist with  'solid map' --> 'one Volume'

after i choose my solid  the message arrives

 

 

 

Faces(=1289) per solid over Limit (610)  

so my tool have to much faces ? what can i do? a am absolutely new in this category

 

 

thanks for help

codiak,

 

For solid meshing, you should always partition the geometry into 'mappable' regions,

 

Solid (3D) meshing can be done automatically, just like 2D shell meshing, but often requires that complex parts be partitioned into groups of smaller, simpler, connected solids instead of one large complex sold.

Partitioning is accomplished via the Geom page's Solids panel.

 

See 

HyperWorks Desktop Applications > HyperMesh > User's Guide > Meshing > Volume Meshing > Solid Meshing Practices:

Partitioning Solids for Mappability

 

and the hexa meshing section of training center, training.altairuniversity.com and the 3d meshing tutorials in HyperMesh help
