I'm trying to cut down on the needed number of elements for a few larger simulation studies that I'm running. I have a few thin solid parts that I do not want to mesh as shells -- too many connections/interactions to be able to reliably use a shell mesh. Does Solidworks have the option to mesh thin solids using hexahedral (brick & wedge) elements? I know Creo had this option & have recently come over to Solidworks.

Note: I do NOT have the plastics add-on. Using Simulate Premium on SW 2020 SP 5.0.
