I need to make a full 3D variant of the axisymmetric plate with a hole. I’ve made it most of the way there, but am having some issues meshing the volume. My first idea was to create the volume with the hole, then mesh the hole and grade the mesh towards the opposite surfaces.
I was able to mesh all 6 surfaces as well as the surface of the hole in this and other manners. I then tried meshing the volume using either scheme auto, or scheme sweep, where I pick a couple surfaces to sweep between. However, neither of those options seems to work.
Thus, my questions are:
- How can I mesh the volume from the mesh of the surfaces?
- Is this the best way to go about this?
