Hello. I am struggling with mesh generation. All the beams in the geometry are hollow. Does anyone have a solution to this?

  Hello Petter,
  What types of problems do you face while generating a mesh? Tell us about any errors you receive during mesh generation.
  First, try using a global mesh to see which parts are causing problems. Then, apply local mesh controls to those specific areas and adjust the element size according to your requirements.
  If small parts in the model are causing issues, use the sizing control and adjust the defeaturing size based on the size of those parts
  
  Best Regards,

  Hi Petter,
  What is the error message you are getting while generating the mesh? Make sure the bodies are connected properly. You can refer the video link below.

  Additionally, if there are small features on the beams that are not important for the analysis, you can use the "Automatic Mesh Based Defeaturing" option in Workbench Mechanical or Workbench Meshing. By setting a "Defeature Size" value larger than the size of these small features, the mesher will ignore them, simplifying the meshing process.
  Thanks,
