study of Stents in ANSYS
(OP)
I designed a stent in Solidworks imported to ANSYS and trying to mesh the feature, it pop's out a window all the time saying define volume, volume is not defined.I am new to ANSYS and not clear what eleent types to select or how to mesh the stent.I have to apply pressure as how balloon expandable stents work. Can anyone please help me with the steps how to analyze the stents in ANSYS.

Whenever I try to mesh it gives mesagge that
Element type 1 a solid I86, which cannot be used with the AMES command. Meshing area 301 aborted.
What does this mean?
