Meshing Failed in Ansys Workbench: Causes & Alternatives

[Mohamed_Wael]

I have been working on example of the book of ansys workbench by H.H.LEE but I tried to do different mesh using : mesh control <method<Multizone/hexa unfortunately I got an error message saying that the mesh failed and can't be performed. Does anyone who why does meshing might fail and what is the alternative in such situations

I've used the "Method - Hex Dominant" meshing with reasonably complex geometries with good success, try that out and see how it goes. Your other option is to slice the geometry into multiple pieces in DesignModeler and then creating a "Multi-Body Part" with the resulting sliced solids to try simplifying the meshing requirements.
