    Nice project! I would work in the cad to get the midsurfaces, and then export every component as a single step or iges files to be meshed as shells in Mecway. Another way would be mesh as solid (but using a 2d mostly quads extruded to get hexas/wedges elements), but you must care of using three elements and second order to capture well the deformations on a sheet metal part as this.

    Regards!

    Stiffeners below the perforated plate looks like they are not solid objects. Seems two surfaces together very close and "empty" . Check the image below.
    ¿Is that what you wanted to model?
    The geometry healing of netgen shows some small edges too.

    VERTEX : 289
    EDGE : 441
    WIRE : 224
    FACE : 148
    SHELL : 1
    SOLID : 1
    COMPSOLID : 0
    COMPOUND : 0
    SHAPE : 1104

    I must have modelled the stiffeners wrong they are supposed to be solids as well.
