  Hello,
  I am trying to create a 3d convex hull. The convex hull has 10 vertices and 16 surfaces. The VA command allows only 10 areas. How can I generate volume with more than 10 areas?

  Keyur, thanks for your support. I am trying to create meso-model of concrete. The aggregate is shown in the image is currently areas and not volumes. I want to generate volume bounded by area regions. For this VA command is used but is limited to 10 areas only.
  My problem is, I have more than 10 areas for an aggregate particle and the VA command is showing an error. So, the problem statement is "how can I
  create volume enclosed by more than 10 surfaces?"

  I am using ANSYS MAPDL.
