I am new to using Cubit and am currently trying to model a few components.
I would like to model the component shown in the image. Could you advise on the proper sequence to follow?
Additionally, I am unsure how to modify the purple part in the middle. How should I approach this?
I would greatly appreciate your guidance.

Hi @KimJungHyun,
i am sorry to say that i didn’t mesh the whole volume yet.
The highlighted part of the geometry makes trouble and i didn’t find a solution for that.

I don’t know for which solver you need your mesh. If it supports pyramids, i would try to mesh the missing part as tetmesh and make a transition with pyramids from tet to hex.
Another option is to use sculpt. This can save a lot of time in general.
