When importing an STL file mesh, mesh recognition problem

      I want to import an STL file (already composed of meshes) like the above in SpaceClaim, simplify the model through Shrinkwrap, and then perform an analysis.

      However, when performing an analysis, the following error occurs and the analysis does not proceed.

      The mesh generation did not complete due to poor quality elements or incorrect input. Please try meshing with another mesh method or different mesh options.

      I think it is probably trying to re-mesh the model as a solid and failing.

      How can I use the mesh of an STL file as is (as shell elements) rather than remeshing it?

      What kind of analysis are you trying to do?
