Solid Map Mesh

I'm trying to perform a solid map mesh so that I can model a composite sandwhich structure.

My plan is to generate the solid mesh first and then to use the faces feature to create the surface mesh for

the skins.

When I try to generate the solid mesh, I get an error of 'Non-mappable. a 8 hole volume requires >=9 face sequences, found 8.'

I've checked to make sure there are control points on the surfaces, but I can't seem to fix the issue, I've also tried to make the surfaces a solid instead, but that returns the same error.

Any ideas on a cleanup for this?

    Hi,

    your solid geometry should fulfill these guidelines:

    1) one or more source surface, but only one tarket surface

    2) at least one 'green connection edge' between source and target surface

    3) no 'crossing points or edges' along the mapping direction

    From what you described, I'ld guess that you should try to fulfill 1)

    Regards
