How to mesh a hollowed sphere
Altair EmployeeHello,
I'm involved to mesh the attached solid model in order to optimize a three dimensional node. It's a hollowed sphere cutted on the top and some random holes. The point is the model doesn't present symmetries. How can I mesh this solid? First of all, at the beginning I find an edge problem showed.
Can someone please lead me in this particular process?
Thanks.
Alberto

You can remove the free edges in the geometry by the option Geometry > Edge edit > equivalence

Then you can do a Tetra mesh once it has became an enclosed volume.

Thank you very much Pranav Hari for your quick answer, the edge's problem is solved, but the message 'the mesh is not enclosed' continue to appear.
Can I try to mesh the external surface and extend all the thickness up to the inside edge? Could this method works?
Thank you very much

I removed the free edges in the geometry and I meshed the sphere but some holes result full, not more empty. I tried the boolean subtraction with a cylinder to recondition the hole but the program doesn't not allow me to select the sphere.
Any suggestions?

Did you mean you want to make the cylinder hollow on both sides

You can use geometry > surface edit > trim with surface to remove the unwanted surface on top of the sphere.
check this video on how to trim surfaces
Once you trim surface you can mesh it and clear the free edges.

Thank you very much for your help.
Very professional and exhaustive, I made some basic errors in the procedure.
