Hello everybody,
I'm having some issues with getting a particular model to meshusing a mixed-mesh study. The model is of a thick reinforcing padover a thin-wall pipe. I created a surface from the edges of thereinforcing pad and had planned on using shell elements for thatand solid elements for the pad itself.
I can mesh the pad independently (when I don't have surfacesupressed) using 1" solid elements. I can't seem to get the mixedmesh model to work no matter what I try. I have a mesh control onthe pad solid stating a 1" element size and I have set the globalsize to 1in to 2in with no difference, still getting an error.
I have uploaded the part file to this location:

Any help is much appreciated.
