does any one know how to perform a compression test on a lattice structure in ansys

[Chris Quan]

If you are using Explicit Dynamics system or other Mechanical systems such as Static Structural or Transient Structural, you can apply Displacement or Force, or Pressure boundary condition to compress the structure.

A lattice structure can be imported from CAD programs to Mechanical systems in Workbench or created in Workbench using Material Designer under Componenet Systems. See screen snapshot below.

i have created a tpms lattice using material designer and exported it to explicit dynamics, but while doing the meshing i am getting this error
