Hi All,

 

I'm Newbie and I started working with Hypermesh 2 weeks ago and i hope to find solution here for my problem image/emoticons/default_smile.png' alt=':)' srcset='<fileStore.core_Emoticons>/emoticons/smile@2x.png 2x' width='20' height='20'> .

 

I want to mesh a curved tube. But first I tried to mesh a straight tube, created with two circles and a line connecting these circles, and it worked fine (see picture named 'straight_tube') with the skin panel. <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>post-21421-0-91084400-1391351196_thumb.j

 

Then I tried the same with a curved line using the spline panel. But it only meshes the half of the tube instead of creating a closed mesh (see second picture 'curved_tube') and I don't know why. <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>post-21421-0-47037200-1391351195_thumb.j

 

Do you have any idea of how to fix this problem?

 

Thank you in advance

 

Best regards,

Uysal

    If your curved tube is correctly make (geometry) , try to cut it into 2 or 4 parts. Make the mesh for each.

    I separated it into two parts and meshed each of them. It worked perfectly.
