The
2D mesh must completely surround the domain where
the 3D mesh will be created without any free edges.
The original 3D mesh can be deleted or kept.

Advanced
options ( )
The following
advanced options can be set when generating a
3D mesh from a 2D mesh. The nodes within the tolerance
can be automatically merged to prevent analysis
error and the interior mesh density of the solid
mesh can be specified. Selecting the [Avoid Tetra
with All Boundary Nodes] option prevents the 4
nodes of the tetrahedral element from all being
on the boundary surface. This option puts at least
2 elements in the thickness direction of a thin
solid and granting it a boundary condition can
prevent the 4 nodes of the tetrahedral element
from all being restricted.
