Hello. I have a project, I need to quantify the forces acting on the spine due to gravity. I have a model of the spine and have assigned the material to the properties. I'm trying to generate mesh but getting multiple errors. Can someone please help? The mesh settings have been left as is. Also can someone please explain what this thickness value is for the parts under the geometry section. This is all in Ansys Mechanical Enterprise:

Hi Saif Rasool,

It appears you have surface bodies in Mechanical. Thickness option is defining thickness for the surface bodies. Mesher will create shell elements for these parts.
