1D mesh that allows accurate testing of connectors, such as bolts, and similar rod-like or bar-like objects that can
be modeled as a simple line for FEA purposes.
Volume mesh or "solid meshing" uses three-dimensional elements to represent fully 3D objects, such as solid parts
or sheets of material that have enough thickness and surface variety that solid meshing makes more sense than 2D shell
meshing.
You can select multiple solids for solid map meshing provided that each individual solid is in fact mappable. However,
the meshing engine cannot always mesh every selected solid in a single operation, even when all the selected solids
display as mappable.
Before you can successfully solid mesh a model, ensure that the solids have been partitioned so that they are either
one directional or three directional mappable.
Use the Thin Solids tool to create 3D mesh on thin solids. The mesh is created by first generating a 2D mesh on a
selected set of source faces, and then extruding this mesh to generate solid hexa or wedge elements.
Acoustic Cavity meshing generates a fluid volume mesh used to calculate the acoustic modes (or standing waves) inside
the air spaces of a vehicle or similarly enclosed structural model.

Hex Meshing Multiple Solids
You can select multiple solids for solid map meshing provided that each individual solid is in fact mappable. However, the meshing engine cannot always mesh every selected solid in a single operation, even when all the selected solids display as mappable.
Partition Solids for Mappability
Before you can successfully solid mesh a model, ensure that the solids have been partitioned so that they are either one directional or three directional mappable.
