Foot bones meshing errors

Hi,

 

I am modelling neuropathic foot bones. I have segmented 19 bones via MIMICS software. For meshing I am using Hypermesh. I have meshed surfaces of 15 bones by creating 2D mesh (R-trias) and used tet elements for 3D meshing. But in 3 bones I am getting errors of :

 

Free edges: I tried to remove them from equivalence but free edges remains there.

' xxx elements are outside of mesh volume and discarded'  

 

Being a problematic foot, some surfaces of Bones are eroded which I segment from CT-scan

 

I need to mesh every bone separately. I am able to mesh these bones in MATIC software but getting errors in hypermesh.

 

How can I mesh these 3 bones to proceed further in Abaqus?

 

(.hm file is attached below containing these 3 bones components)
