Try selectively meshing one body at a time, that sometimes results in a hex mesh while meshing everything at once doens’t.  If that does not work, try the next approach.

In Workbench, from the Components part of the Toolbox, drag out a Mechanical Model to mesh the mirror. Drag out another Mechanical Model to mesh the mount. Each one will have the hex mesh. Drag out a third Mechanical Model. In workbench Drag the Model cell from the first MM and drop it on the Model cell of the third MM to create a link.  Do the same for the other MM.  Update the first two MMs then open the third MM. In there, you will be able to add connections between the models.Â
