Dear Friends,
I am facing problems regarding meshing of a solid geometry in LS Dyna software. I tried to mesh it with AUTO MESH command. But I am not sure whether it is shell meshing or solid meshing. I can see meshing as a surface though my geometry is solid. I also tried Solid meshing command but I am not able to mesh using it. Can any one please guide me in this regards. Attached: Solid geometry
To draw the geometry:
1. I first draw all columns independently
2. Used boolean-union operation to merge all column in a structure

Auto meshing always leads to solid mesh generation. Just in case if you need confirmation, Press F11 >>SPlane>>"Cut the geometry in any axis".
Even if you have chosen shell element, still you can use it as a solid element, if you want to save computational time.
thank you Manish Kumar Dubey , Jumaa Salman Chiad , Ashish Kumar Rajak for your valuable suggestions. Both solutions worked for me. Best Regards.
You observations seem incorrect Mr Ashish Kumar Rajak. Auto Mesher won't give any kind of default solid mesh. If I am wrong then please correct me.
