ERROR mesh and model volumes

Balint Franko Mar 11, 2008 4:05 PM

I am having trouble to mesh a part. After I click on create mesh, I receive the following error message:
"Mesh and Model volumes are significantly different" and I have no option just click the OK button. Than the next message:
"All components are hidden"
I don't understand what is going on? I can see the green check mark on the mesh icon, but no mesh shows. No mesh created.... if I try to run the analysis anyway, it freez Cosmos. "Not reponding"

Any ideas... Thanks.
(I use ver.2006)

Try reducing the element size. You can also try the alternate mesher, which is especially good if you have lots of curves in the part. Is the part hollow or thin walled? If so, you can try setting it up as a shell mesh.

I know this is an old post but I had a similar issue recently. I have no idea why but deleting the study and starting from scratch looks like it works. It seems like the fixtures and loads are added to a hidden body for some reason even though they are obviously on the included, visible body.
