Hi,

I'm new to Ansys and I've designed a red blood cell using soldiworks and now I'm trying to mesh it. However, when I mesh it, the thickness (0.2 microns) of the structure doesn't seem to be correct. I'm using shell elements too Any ideas on how I can go about solving this problem? Thank you

@Wazawaki nTurn off the thickness display and see the actual mesh on the surface. See if it follows the geometrynnnn

nI turned off the thickness, and it seems the mesh isn't following the curved geometry but follows the red line as seen in the image. Would you have any ideas on how to solve this? Thank you nn

nI assume the lines are the geometry edges. Why are the edges away from the face? This might be a problem with the geometry. See if you can split the surfaces in solidworks and then try to mesh it againn
