When the mesh is generated, the NX AdvSim software sweeps the mesh of hexahedral elements from the "source faces" to the target face. You can use multiple (not only one, but many faces as your drawing) connected source faces to a single target face. Please note that HEX meshing command allows you to use " Until Target" type to sweep a mesh from a selected source face to a target face that you specify. You can use the Split Body command to divide a complex body into several smaller, simpler bodies. Before you try to generate a swept mesh on a body, you may first need to simplify the body by subdividing it into smaller bodies. If not, then you will have to play with nodes & elements only, sweeping the mesh by hand. SPLIT BODY command is the key, if you want to mesh the geometry using CHEXA 8-nodes solid elements. RE: Partitioning a body for meshing saucke (Mechanical) Using divide face this is a single command, with split body I require 8 separate features (4 extrudes and 4 split bodies). I want to know if there's an equivalent command to divide face, but for bodies instead (do it all at once from a single sketch). I resorted to divide face for the 2D mesh because the original faces could be easily divided in a single step step. Especially since the extrude section rules limit what shapes you can use to split things. I know about the split body command but for the number of pieces I have it won't really work. This all leaves me with needing a way to easily partition bodies so I can sweep the part. The part is not sweeapable and it wouldn't keep my mesh profile if it did sweep through. I cannot just extrude the element faces in the element normal direction due to holes on curved surfaces. I have used divide face to divide the face of this part into about 60 different sections and I have a 2D mesh on all of these faces exactly the way I want it.

I am having trouble partitioning a body for meshing.
