"Translation" needed

"Translation" needed

"Translation" needed

(OP)
Fairly simple part, made from several extrusions (several features extruded one on the top of the previous one)

Tried to do my first COSMOS analysis and got a message:

Surface mesh successful.
Volume mesh failed
Try the following:
 - Reduce element size
   (<1.5852 in)

What does it mean ???

RE: "Translation" needed

Sounds like you have some model feature that prevents the volume mesh size of 1.5852 inches from completing.  Usually this means you have a thin feature somewhere (thinner than 1.58in).  Try changing the mesh size to be below the thinest section in your component.
