Sweep surface followed by volume mesh failed

I tried to mesh surfaces with pave, then sweep it to the bottom surfaces. For the volume 1 it works (green mesh), but fails in the volume 3 (purple mesh). Kindly advise. Thank you.

Script error log:

Cubit>surface 7 scheme pave
Cubit>mesh surface 7
Cubit>volume 3 scheme sweep source surface 7 target surface 8
Cubit>mesh volume 3

Even though some volumes failed to mesh, Cubit will log
the command in the journal file for future use. Although some entities failed to mesh, Cubit will log the command in the journal file anyway, for future use.

Hello @dianekasurya,
when i do

reset vol all
mesh vol all

i get a mesh for all volumes, but i also get some bad shaped hexes on some places.

That is a good hint to look out for some geometry issues.
Lets do a check with the power tools.

And we get some problems regarding small features.

When we click onto “Remove small features”, we can get to the according widget.
In this widget we can hit “Detect Small Features” and see that there are 2 curves that are way too small.
When we click onto a curve possible solutions will be suggested at the bottom table.


We collapse curve 429 to vertex 19 and curve 430 to vertex 30. When we then check for small curves nothing will be shown. So we can attempt to mesh again.

So after opening your file.

reset vol all
collapse curve 429 vertex 19
collapse curve 430 vertex 16
mesh vol all

will get us a mesh for all volumes.
