Hex meshing of intersecting solid cylinders
Hex meshing of intersecting solid cylinders
(OP)
I have been trying to mesh the model (pic below)
Currently it can be easily meshed with Tet elemnts and/or quad elements(pic below) but I want to mesh it with hex elements and apparently it can be done only through bottom up mesh for which i need to partition it. I have tried partitioning it at intersection of cylinders but still its unmeshable. what would be the ideal way to mesh this model with hex elements?
