I am working on structural analysis of a wing that consists of two hollow-square shaped cross-section spars and a number of airfoil-shaped ribs (skin also, but for now I just aim to analyse the previous two). The spars are protruding through the ribs and so I have shared topology option enabled over entire object. Something to note is that spars also have a hole through-the-thickness at one free end to attach them to a fixed plate in fuselage.&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I want to 1) create a preferably hex mesh for spars since theyre basically a basic hollow square beams 2) for ribs, make some other mesh like multizone 3) adjust the region around bolt holes with inflation. Problem is that since they are sharing topology, I cant use stuff like multizone or sweep since it gives error. i tried working with named selection but that does not solve the issue. In short, I want to ask how to create different meshes on spars and ribs while maintaining shared topology for smooth global mesh and good quality of mesh?&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Thank you.&lt;\/p&gt;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-393466","topic","type-topic","status-publish","hentry","topic-tag-mechanicalworkbench-1","topic-tag-3d-meshing","topic-tag-mesh"],"aioseo_notices":[],"acf":[],"custom_fields":[{"0":{"_bbp_subscription":["478242","240"],"_bbp_author_ip":["2001:6b0:1:1041:1cff:8517:40b7:3b05"],"_btv_view_count":["180"],"_bbp_topic_status":["unanswered"],"_bbp_topic_id":["393466"],"_bbp_forum_id":["27791"],"_bbp_engagement":["240","478242"],"_bbp_voice_count":["2"],"_bbp_reply_count":["5"],"_bbp_last_reply_id":["393630"],"_bbp_last_active_id":["393630"],"_bbp_last_active_time":["2024-11-11 17:17:26"]},"test":"viliusvkth-se"}],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/393466","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\/393466\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=393466"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
