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":[],"aioseo_head":"\n\t\t<!-- All in One SEO 4.9.10 - aioseo.com -->\n\t<meta name=\"description\" content=\"I am very new to ansys and I&#039;m really struggling with meshing.
