Tubular to Tubular Quad Mapped Meshing

AftabAftab
Hi All, I am trying to do a quad mapped meshing for a tubular to tubular connection, i have built my geometry in Salome, and have partitioned my geometry for mapped meshing. Attached are all Individual step files, tried to attach a salome .hdf file but it does not allow me. My conundrum is if fuse them and partition them, the chord surface area inside the brace is having trouble for a mapped geometry. It works perfectly for a pipe , like that of a pipe Tee section but for a structural tubular to tubular , i am struggling. Any tips or any other smart approaches.

    i imported ur geometries into rhino, trimmed the intersections, fused the surfaces together then used quadremesh to generate the first mesh -I also imported the trimmed fused surface to propomax (it has some nice meshing options) to generate the second mesh

    actually mecways netgen mesher does quite a good job

    Hi Fatmac, much appreciated for your response, i am getting decent mesh in Salome as well, however, i am interested in the tube to tube area to be meshed as well, as tis is typical offshore jacket tubular joint not an open pipe. See as per below image.

    By splitting the main part with the 2 branched tubes, importing all the bits into prepomax then making a compound I managed to generate a conformal quad mesh

    mecways netgen mesher does a nice job on the split parts also -I had to merge some of the nodes after to make it one part though

    Many Thanks Fatmac, much appreciated.
