When a panel is not meshed check if it has the correct calculation model assigned (e.g. it is
not a curtain wall)

Despite having the iterative adjustment of FE Mesh switched on but still there is the
incoherent mesh error reported.

You can use the detailed correction tool and adjust the model selecting one of the available options. In
most cases it is suggested to start with adjustment to structural axes, planes and lines.

For a single panel the correction of its contour can also be done manually either to correct the position
of its corners or remove excessive division points created along the edges as they influence generation
of meshes. You can either use the properties of the panel

For panels that still do not mesh correctly you can try to change the meshing parameters
that are assigned to them. It is recommended to use size of the mesh element rather than
number of divisions and have similar sizes of elements defined for neighboring panels. Try
to run regular meshing for the panels that you have problem with meshing if this option is
switched off and switch it on if it is disabled.

You may be able to generate mesh for a panel that has not been meshed during the
model generation of the whole structure after deleting the meshes from the panels
that have common edges first and then running the local mesh generation for the
‘problem’ panel followed by the local mesh generation for the ones you delete
meshes from.

In some cases you may just need to manually move a node after freezing the meshes to
create coherent meshes

Remember to freeze meshes that you manually corrected so that the model generation not
generates them again as they were created before your changes.
