    Hi,

    I dont have Bolt geometry to mesh in HM.The only info I have is Bolt diameter and bolt shank length.

    With the above two inputs I need to generate HEX mesh for bolt.Can you generate a macro which should take bolt

    diameter and bolt shank lenth and should generate HEX mesh.

    Thanks
