How to mesh a partial sphere

I want to mesh a partial sphere with a circle for surface meshing scheme and a sphere for volume meshing scheme. However, the sphere for volume meshing scheme demands Volumes topologically equivalent to a sphere and having one surface. On the other hand, my partial sphere have two surfaces, one for circular section, and the other for partial spherical surface. So I am not able to mesh the volume of partial sphere.
Actually, there is an example of this volume where the guide of Sphere offers in Trelis 14.0 Documentation. So Iā€™m not sure if I build the partial sphere in a wrong way, which has two surfaces.
It will be very kind of whom to help me with this problem. Thanks a lot. :slight_smile:

Partial spheres can be meshed by cutting a cylinder through the core and cutting the partial sphere into two sweepable volumes.

Try this

reset
create sphere radius 10 ypositive
create Cylinder height 25 radius 1
rotate Volume 2 angle 90 about X include_merged
webcut volume 1 with sheet extended from surface 3
delete Volume 2
webcut volume 1 with general plane xy noimprint nomerge
volume all size auto factor 2
imprint all
merge all
mesh vol all

Did I understand your question correctly?

Thanks a lot for your help.
It works well.
