Help With Meshing on Abaqus

[M. Fern]

I have to mesh a model rear upright in an SAE racecar. I have input the loads and everything, but I cannot for any reason get the meshing done correctly, something about the geometry makes it so that my mesh has too many nodes in certain areas and it will not mesh. I used C3D8I, then C3D20, and then nothing works.

 

[FEA way]

Maybe there are too many small details and you have to simplify the geometry. Can you show a picture of this model ?

Try applying automatic virtual topology.
