Solid map, mappable view option

User: "Altair Forum User"

Hi,

 

I used 'mappable' view option in the visualization toolbar.

My geometry is complex, so I divided it into several pieces, then the whole model became yellow and transparent from orange color.

When the color of a piece turned to yellow, I was able to create hex elements.

So I created hex elements for piece by piece, but at some point I could not create hex elements, and got an error message which said

'Selected volume is not mapplable.'  But actually the color of the piece is still yellow.

 

I assume that when the color is yellow, I am supposed to be able to use solid map to create hex elements.

But I got error messages.

Can anyone help me with this problem?

I would appreciate any help.

Thanks,

 

Jay

    Hi,

     

    do you have used 3D->solid map->one solid or multi solid at any step?

     

    Hexmeshing is a difficult issue, sometimes it is not possible to create a nice hexmesh and sometimes it is not possible.

    Try to make extra cuts and seperate the difficult solids. Maybe it helps.

    I used both one volume and multi solids.

     

    I divided into really small pieces, and still cannot create elements.
