Hex Mesh
Altair EmployeeHi,
I am meshing a component with hex elements which is not mappable. I have partitioned the solid using solid edit panel, the whole solid turned into mappable except the front head part. The front solid is having teeth like structure. It is not mappable.
How can we mesh this type of solids?
Thanks in advance.

Altair EmployeeHi Prakash,
I have created hex mesh for the mappable solids and for the non-mappable head one, i did tetramesh and created 3D penta elements. Can we have element connectivity with this process?
Altair EmployeeIf you r are taking the 3D elements faces as reference for creating the tetramesh the connectivity will be maintained, to get conformation, create the faces for all 3D elements and check the connectivity of the 3D elements.
to create faces goto Tools>>Faces>>

Altair EmployeeI have done volume tetrameshing with match existing mesh option checked. Will it take connectivity?
How to check whether the elements are connected or not?
Altair EmployeeJust check coincident nodes: Tool => edges => preview equi
Hi Bhavana,
You may have to drag the elements using line drag option in 3D panel. I think this will help you somehow.
But it may not create HEXA throughout the head part as you said it has a tooth like structure.
