I have a lattice gear with 2 part inner and outer part. The gear has 15,000 lattice with 2 mm lattice size and the strut thickness is 0.4 mm. I set the element size 0.1 mm and the method Tetrahedrons Patch Independent. It takes 5 hour to reach 39% meshing of the inner part and 39% of the outer part. However it's been stuck like this for 10 hours. Please give me an advice on how to fix this? Please tell me how to properly meshing a body with large amount of small lattices. Thank you.

Program usually gives the message about meshing completed on ...xx/xx parts. When the Meshing process stuck, do you remmeber at which part it had the difficulties? 

If you click on Mesh in Tree Outline, right click on the part that hasn't been meshed, and then click on Mesh the selected part, will the part be meshed?

The current length unit is m. If you change the length unit to mm, will the meshing process work?

Can you try Patch Conforming meshing method with mesh defeaturing to see if it works? 

I don't see how the lattice geometry looks like from the picture, you may try meshing method "Stacker" or "MultiZone" to see if it can mesh the lattice geometry more effectively.
