Help with Hexamesh 3D

Altair Forum User

Hi when I make I hexa mesh in a 3D form I make with the option 3D--solidmap---onevolumen--source type:quand and then mesh, like I saw in the tutorial but I think this is not the correct form to make it also because when I put on a propietie and I analyses said that there is missing propieties.

Thank you for the Helps!

Hi,

could you please explain in more detail how you 'put on a propertie'? On elements or on components?

Altair Forum User

Yes I can I put the propieties first I create a propiety, selecting the Material and the propity in this case PSOLID, then I go to collectors-- assign---Component_propity then I select the comp and the propiety that I have already created before and press asign.

That approach sounds correct. For finding the exact reason for your error messages I suggest that you contact your local support representative and provide them the .hm-file together with information on HM-version und HM-updated used.

35 errors found in the input data.

***** FATAL INPUT DATA ERROR *****

And I don't really underestand why it said that I didn't put on the propieties or are missing...

Thank you for your helps

Hi Juanlu,

You are shell and solid elements in the component. You assigned a solid property (PSOLID) to this component.

Please, delete shell elements in the component and the error message should be disappeared.
