NOT ABLE TO MESH SPRING

[poornam07]

Hi,

  Iam not able to mesh the spring using solid elements.

Hi @poornam07 

When problems like this occur, one option is to mesh the model as shells (instead of solids). If a face cannot be meshed, a shell mesh will often mesh the rest of the model. Then you can see where the failure is occurring.

Oddly, this did not work. But I did find two surfaces that would not mesh as shells. The rest of the model will mesh as shells. I suggest you trim off the ends of the springs to eliminate the double curved geometry. (Although the opposite end did mesh, I would trim it off also.)
