    By proper splitting geometry you could achieve such mesh.This pattern looks good but fail in element quality like jacobian and quad angle. Better you use quick edit  washer command to create circular shape around bolt hole and it would hep you to generate good quality elements.see attached screenshot.

    Hello Rahul,

    Could you please detail the 'quick edit  washer command'?

    I can create a washer mesh control but i need to completely remesh my body so that it is taken into account. I guess there is another way

     

    Thank you in advance
