Since the elements are made up of cubes, i figured the best meshing would be that of a blocking approach. However, my computer freezes every time i tried to mesh it. What would be a rule of thumb here in terms of computer memory. Is 32 GB of RAM enough for high volume meshes? Or 64 GB? Thanks in advance!
