How to reduce the number of elements in a mesh

Hi,

my work is related to test collision areas in biological tissues such as tooth enamel.

I created the surface of the dental tissues and imported them into Hypermesh. Following, I generated the 3D models filling those with first order tetrahedral elements. I ended up with a 13 million meshes (adding all the tissues).

I am wondering if it is possible to reduce the numer of elements in the 3D model directly in Hyperworks/Hypermesh.

Thanks a lot for your help

    Hello @LauraMartinFrances ,

    sure, you can use Tetra Remesh in 3D ribbon to remesh an existing tetra mesh:

    You will have access to some options including element size to remesh:

    Hope that helps,
