Issue with Solid Map

Hi,

 

I want to create a solid mesh between two meshed surfaces, which will be shared surfaces to the solids they 'belonged to' initially

 

What I did so far:

0. Working in ABAQUS profile.

1. Automesh (Trias, elm size = 1.5) surfaces of interest

2. With Solid Map, I tried to make a solid mesh starting from the bottom surface, towards the upper surface, along a straight line (curve should also work, but I kept it simple for now).

 

Problem:

Bottom surface mesh is satisfactory.

Upper surface mesh is 'double'/ not a shared surface and does not follow surface edge.

Using the 'elm to match' option does not work, since this requires same amount of elms on both surfaces, which is not the case.

 

Thanks in advance!

    the best way is to mesh all surfaces with 2D trias and give connectivity then go to 3D-> tetramesh-> Tetra Mesh-> select all elements and click Mesh..
