Unable to Mesh a 3D semi Sphere using C3D8R elements
Unable to Mesh a 3D semi Sphere using C3D8R elements
(OP)
Hi all.
I have spent a long time trying to get this part to mesh properly using the above element type. When trying to mesh the part I get the message
"The selected regions are bottom up regions, which cannot be meshed automatically; use the bottom-up mesh tools instead. I am almost sure I should be able to mesh the part using this element type.
Any help would be appreciated. I have attached the .cae file.
Thanks

1. Create planes offset 0 from XY and YZ
2. Partition cell using datum planes
3. Assign mesh controls -> element shape -> hex
4. Mesh
Is the indentor acting at an oblique angle? If not an axisymmetric model would be prefered.
I hope this helps.

What module is the 'create plane' feature in please?
