Elements, components, surfaces and solids are supported as input to the SPH mesher. Selected elements can be shell or solid elements; however, the selected elements need to form a closed volume. Selected components can contain either a FE mesh or geometry; however, the FE mesh or geometry must also form a closed volume. More than one component can be selected to form a closed volume for SPH meshing. If the selected components are such that one is completely contained within another, SPH elements are created within the volume between the two selected components as shown below:
