Mesh solid with HEX element

[Charoenpon555]

Hi
I want to mesh solid with Hex element in patran.

I imported parasolid file into patran and broke solid into many small solid.

I figured out that these solids are still B-rep (white edge) type
which can not be meshed by Isomesh type.

Could anyone guide me how to change these solid to parametric type (dark blue edge)
to make isomesh ?

Thank you in advance

Finally I did it!

It's too difficult and many steps to do.
It require disassemble solid, delete old surface(purple line) and
construct new surface from edge (green line),
and then mesh edge, mesh surface and mesh to form solid element.

WoW So hard!!!

With improvements to computing resources, we usually don't worry about working so hard to get an isomesh. Rather just use the paver mesh and add extra elements.
