How to create a fill inside a Pipe with internal pipe.

I have a pipe with internal pipe. I will have to put in concrete between these pipes.

How do I model the concrete fill between these pipes in Hypermesh Desktop?

Can anyone point me to a tutorial or some guides on how to do this?

    If you have geometries you are working with, you could use the inner and outer to create a solid for the concrete, and then tet or Hex mesh the concrete. 

    If you are working with shells, you can create a shell cap on the two ends and then use those enclosed volumes to create tet or hex meshes of the concrete.

    Hope you can try these 2 options out.

    Thanks a lot. This solved it.

    But now, i get another problem. I get this Error #2205 and got stuck. I tried turning off the CheckEl option but the error is still there.

    Anyone can help me here?

    Attached is the error picture and the model file.

    Make sure to check your element quality in HyperMesh before running the analysis.

    If you are using the geometry based approach, check for sliver surfaces. If using the mesh based approach, check for low quality surface elements before creating the tetra mesh.

     

    There are also tools in HM that allow you to directly work on improving the tetra element quality. If needed you can use them too.
