The model I'm trying to mesh is one complete solid model but there are various size parts within the model. Some parts are large while some parts are small which might be causing this error message. I tried to mesh the model by parts over 200 parts but the software crashes. So now I'm trying to...

I was trying to mesh a solid model in Nastran4D 2003. I received a "code 22" error during the mesh phase. (see attachment of error message) Does anyone know what this error is and how can I fix it? Thank You.

HRP21, Were you able to combine all the parts as one part using the Combine feature in SW? I'm currently in the same situation where I need to run a FEA analysis but the FEA software reads the model as individual parts not as one part. Please help. Thank You. Kevin

I tried to follow your direction. I made a printscreen because I couldn't locate select the Show or Show with Dependents, and subsequent options.http://files.engineering.com/getfile.aspx?folder=b05a8b4d-1e59-4127-b590-dc47dca35f1a&file=printscreen.JPG

I'm using SW 2008. I created an assembly file with several parts. I click on "Show Hidden Components". I see couple parts are hidden not sure why. I click on "undo" and nothing seems to happen. How do I un-hide these parts. If anyone has dealt with this problem before, please help. Thank You, Kevin

Can I be missing some parts when I import the Solidworks file into Nastran because those parts are too detailed or the part is not created correctly?
