Hi all,

When generating a mesh on a solid cylindrical part (Shaft) in Static Structural the mesh does not generate the same as the hub.

When using the same sweep method as the hub, the shaft mesh fails. As seen in the first image.

I was able to use a multizone meshing method and then apply a face mesh which gives a more symmetric result however, if possible, I would like to make a mesh which matches the Hub's meshing.

Lastly, I just tried the match control on the Hub and Shaft faces which is closer to what I need. However, I lose the hub mesh when doing so.

Also, please let me know if there are any recommendations on improving a mesh to a higher quality, perfecting its symmetry, and/or getting rid of the lower quality elements.

Thank you!
