Hello,

I am modelling a steel transmission pole in solid works to analyze some holes we have to do at grounding level.
I try to create de pole from a sketch of 2 octagons and then extrude but I can’t get it. I create doing first and extrude from de octagon and then make a new sketch and make a cut-extrude. With this I create de geometry but when I go to analyze de pole, SolidWorks miss creating the mesh.

Could anyone help me? It was a long time not using SW. Please find attached my file.

Thanks

This doesn't sound like an issue with the model, but more an issue with how you're setting up your analysis? I don't have experience with SW Simulation but the model looks to be a solid body which should allow for mesh convergence...
