mesing solids

(OP)
i try to hexmesh a solide i imported from Catia,but i systematically obtain the following message.(i get the same message when i try to hexmesh a simple 3D tube)
"Either mesh on surface are not fully maped or base and top surface mesh do not match"

RE: mesing solids

This could happen if you define the volume by specifying surfaces in the wrong order.  If you are meshing a cube, you need to define the surfaces for the volume in the following order:  bottom, top, and then the sides.  I am not sure how you want to mesh the tube, but you might try breaking up the tube into halves or quarters.

RE: mesing solids

Either slicing or solid embedding of the object is not properly done.
Other option is to map the mesh on suface and then do mesh extrude.
