I am running a simulation on a small sector of a 1 inch ID corrugated hose with a braid. My sector is 1\/6 of the full hose circumference and it is 0.765 inches long. I&#8217;m having issues creating a mesh on my intricate braid pattern that complies with the maximum amount of nodes and elements that ansys student can support. I have tried messing with the element size and trying different meshing methods but nothing seems to work. Each ribbon of the braid is made up of five 0.02&#8243; diameter cylindrical sweeps. I merged these 5 sweeps into one body. Please help with any suggestions to get my number of nodes down to 32,000 and elements down to 65,000!!!&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-251247","topic","type-topic","status-closed","hentry","topic-tag-Structuredmeshing-2","topic-tag-ansysworkbench-ansys-staticstructural","topic-tag-meshingerror-1","topic-tag-3d-meshing","topic-tag-ansys-mechanical","topic-tag-tetrahedral-1"],"aioseo_notices":[],"acf":[],"custom_fields":[{"0":{"_bbp_author_ip":["23.77.218.220"],"_bbp_subscription":["274851","240"],"_btv_view_count":["733"],"_edit_lock":["1677171398:205635"],"_bbp_topic_status":["unanswered"],"_bbp_status":["publish"],"_bbp_topic_id":["251247"],"_bbp_forum_id":["27791"],"_bbp_engagement":["240","274851"],"_bbp_voice_count":["2"],"_bbp_reply_count":["4"],"_bbp_last_reply_id":["251485"],"_bbp_last_active_id":["251485"],"_bbp_last_active_time":["2023-02-24 22:07:36"]},"test":"h-kortevikes-csuohio-edu"}],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/251247","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/topic"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/251247\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=251247"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
