    Hi YukeshKumar,

     

    Please let us know what is the type analysis are you going to work on with this component?

     

    If this is a rigid component you can use Wrap mesh which captures the boundaries but the mesh may not be a good quality mesh.

     

    If this is a flexible component, you can Hex Mesh this, but time taking process with this component. Use defeature options to remove fillets (Geom Page>> defeature).

     

    Or, to save time you can use 2nd order tetra elements to mesh this.

    You might want to use Simlab for such complex components.

    It's not so easy to build a full HEX meshing for this kind of geometry. The solution is maybe :

    1. Mixte HEX/PEN/PYRA/TET mesh
    2. Full TET10 mesh

    i think this structural analysis , but  must need hexa and penta , not tet  sir

    If you WANT always hex/penta meshing, I would like to say 'Good luck!' image/emoticons/default_smile.png' alt=':)' srcset='/emoticons/smile@2x.png 2x' width='20' height='20'>

    Why TET10 mesh? Is that more precise than the TET4 mesh?

    If you ask here this question, you need read some (good) FE textbook image/emoticons/default_smile.png' alt=':)' srcset='/emoticons/smile@2x.png 2x' width='20' height='20'>

    Google is your friend.

    If you need only one advise, here's mine : 'Never use TET4 mesh for serious work! NEVER!'
