Hi, I have problem with LsDyna. I need to 3d mesh elliptical solid. I built the solid by drawing half of ellipsoid, filling it's edges and revolving. Now I would like to use Solid Mesher but I get error: No mappable volume found. I am very appreciate for help.

    when I used automatic mesher there was no problem with generating the mesh (but it is meshed as shell not solid).I can not do solid mesher. Mrt thanks for your response, but I am still not sure how you did it.

    at first-Do you use HyperMesh? or LSprepost?

    your surface:

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>image.thumb.png.d91e40dd3a2d40b1a399914138b88816.png

    just mesh it!=) like this, Anna!

    p.s. i don't know why, but in this area your mesh shoulbe like in my pic below... otherwise HM won't make solid mesh right.

    if your solver will be dyna you should know about timestep.=)
