Hello Every one ,

                          Here i attached  snap , is it possible to do hexa and penta  mesh, any one give the valuable response for this one and here attached model file please check it

In my opinion, it's NOT possible to make Hexa/Penta-only mesh for this model.

Screenshot from practical FEA book by Nitin Gokhale.If possible go for tetrahedral element.

PFB link for some examples from youtube.

hi,

it is possible but need to simplify model

yukesh.aero

@tinh  simplify mean ,you can remove fillet region or others,  

tinh

yes, change it to sharpen model, so you may see mappable regions

yukesh.aero

any other solution 

tinh

Every hexa modeling tasks lead to divide geometry into mappable regions

if you don't care about quality, just mesh it as tetra and then shift+F6 split tetras into hexas

or use shrink wrap

thanks @tinh , but need quality

did you try using SimLab?

I heard it's good for hexa/solid modeling

oh i try
