Hi
We need help with creating a hex mesh for an assembly. We did not find any good tutorials on altair website. Can someone please help us with this?
Thanks,

Hello
Have you looked on our Youtube site?

Or our eLearning ?

There is a module on Solid meshing.

Hi Jason,
Thank you for the information. I went through the material you sent. It is really good. Thanks so much. I was able to mesh quite a few solids using the examples.
Although I am having difficulties meshing this solid bar. I split the solid into mappable solids but not able to mesh them. Can you please have a look at it and suggest.
I am attaching the step file of the bars.

That is a tricky area due to the intersecting/conflicting holes. One idea I had is to partition the side hole like this and delete or do not mesh the curved areas. Then you can just mesh the blocky hex elements and morph after
I dont know if I completely understand you. But will that not result in a square cut out rather than a circular hole??

That is why I mentioned you can morph after.
But the hex mesh itself should be much easier
Ok. I see what you are saying. let me give it a try.
Thank you for the quick responses and help.
I have another block which I am not able to hex mesh. Can you please take a look and suggest.
