Why does the holes closes in "FE MESH"?

Hello,

I want to know why in the “FE MESH” area, two holes in my geometry is closed. My geometry functions like reinforced concrete, but the rebarb should create a checkerboard pattern. I don’t understand because it worked for the holes on the left. I’m following this tutorial, and it only worked for 2 out of 4 holes: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z5IQuXv8A2Q&pp=ygULcHJlcG9tYXggNDk%3D

Can you share the .pmx file (or at least .step with this geometry) ?

It’s couldn’t share a step file in here

The holes were removed because you used extruded mesh. This tool just takes the face you select and extrudes it in one direction. So it can’t account for holes on the side. In fact, it should detect them and prevent the extrusion.

In this case, it would be easiest to just apply (dense enough) tetrahedral mesh. Otherwise, you would have to e.g. partition this model into 5- or 6-sided volumes with 3 or 4 edges each to use the Transfinite algorithm.

That is right. The extrude mesh should not be possible in this case. I will move this topic to bug reports.
