We have an exciting announcement about badges coming in May 2025. Until then, we will temporarily stop issuing new badges for course completions and certifications. However, all completions will be recorded and fulfilled after May 2025.

Hey dipika,

Yes, the problem of different number of elements is due to the use of tetra elements, to overcome this use hexa elements (the above geometry looks sweeepable so it should be easy, if not dive into shared topology or multizone method documents to make the best use of hexa meshing for complex geometries). Since hexa mesh produces a structured mesh the number of elements do not usually vary but in case of tetra, it is a unstructured mesh therefore the meshing algorithm might produce different number of elements each time.

Thankyou.
