Automated meshing of cooling channels

Hi all

I’m having some trouble meshing the attached STEP file.

I’m trying to import it and HEX mesh it using journal files but I keep getting the following warning from Trelis

So far I have got the following code any hints much apprechiated

All the best

Jon

cubit.cmd(‘reset’)
cubit.cmd(‘import step "’+filename+’" heal’)
cubit.cmd(‘volume 1 scheme Map’)
cubit.cmd(‘block 1 add volume 1’)
cubit.cmd('create material “div_plate_cooling_channels” property_group “CUBIT-ABAQUS” ')
Cubit.cmd('modify material “div_plate_cooling_channels” scalar_properties “DENSITY” 7.7 ‘)
cubit.cmd(‘block 1 material ‘div_plate_cooling_channels’’)
cubit.cmd(‘mesh volume 1 ‘)
filename_out=output_base_folder+’/mesh_slice_div_detailed.inp’
cubit.cmd(‘export abaqus "’+filename_out+’" dimension 3 overwrite cubitids ')

You might try a submap scheme instead of a map scheme on volume 1.
