Step 7: Surface Meshing

Now all necessary intervals have been set, the meshing can proceed. Begin by meshing the front surface (with the hole) using the paving algorithm. This is done in two steps. First, set the scheme for that surface to Pave, then issue the command to Mesh.

Select Surface then Mesh buttons in the Control Panel.
Select Pave in the Available Mesh Schemes combo box.

Place the cursor into the Surface ID(s) field. Select the front surface of the object by selecting anywhere within the region indicated. The id of Surface 11 will be echoed in the field.

Select surface 11

Select the Apply button to set the scheme.
Select the Mesh button to mesh the surface.

A mesh should be generated on surface 11 using the paving algorithm. The result is shown below.
