Is possible to make a 3d mesh from a 2d mesh?

SergioSergio
If I have a solid part that was meshed on another software, only a mesh of the surfaces with triangles, and then exported as inp, is possible to create a 3d mesh from this in Mecway?

Regards

    Have you tried the Mesh tools->Automesh 3D... feature? I loaded an stl file, which should be almost the same base to start from. Here, the Automesh did the trick.

    Have tried with the .inp shell mesh but without succes. Will try to export the mesh as stl and try again.

    Automesh 3D should do it. Some ideas:

    Make sure it's a single closed solid with no cracks or internal surfaces. (View -> Open cracks)

    All the elements must be oriented the same way (+W axis all outward or all inward).

    You can try surface mesh first which is more likely to succeed and might reveal where the problem is.
