Exterior acoustic sphere mesh for motor acoustic analysis

Altair Forum User

Hi, 

I am doing acoustic analysis for motor. When I mesh the gap between a motor component and a sphere at 1 meter distance using 3D tetra elements, it works fine (as shown) . But while doing the same with full motor, I am getting error in meshing. If anyone can help with this, it would be great. 

 

Thanks

Hi,

 

Could you please share the error message?

Hi sir, 

The error message is as follows:

'Tetra Mesh failed error=-1, 4043 failed elements saved.' 

The model is also shared to you via your FTP link. 

Please help

Thanks

Hi Mayur,

 

You can see that there are 6 failed volumes. This could be because of the geometry. Try with a different element size and check if that helps.

Sir I am trying all the possible elements sizes from last 3-4. Still stuck with the errors
