Need help meshing complex part
(OP)
Hi everyone!
I am new to ABAQUS and I'm trying to mesh an amphorae model made in catia V5. I tried meshing using tet and hex and I cant seem to get rid of the magenta regions. I've tried splitting the model into smaller sections using "Shell extrude" but still no luck.
I suspect the fillets to be the main problem here but I have no idea how to continue. I've uploaded some files for you to have a clearer picture.
Please help me!
Thank you!!

RE: Need help meshing complex part
Hex-meshing could be hard because of the two handles. But if you partition them into separate cells, then you might get the axisymmetric region hex-meshable. The handles could be meshed with tets and A/CAE would automatically add tie-constraint to connect the regions.
