+========================================================
+Meshing a saddle bracket for a structural analysis
+========================================================
+
+**Summary**: This example demonstrates how to mesh a thin
+solid with hexahedral elements.
+
+Objective
+~~~~~~~~~
+
+To create a mainly hexahedral mesh on a thin solid volume.
+
+.. image:: ../../../images/saddle_bracket.png
+   :align: center
+   :width: 400
+   :alt: Thin volume hexahedral mesh.
+
+Procedure
+~~~~~~~~~
+* Launch Ansys Prime Server.
+* Import the CAD geometry.
+* Quad surface mesh the source face.
+* Surface mesh the remaining unmeshed TopoFaces with tri.
+* Delete the topology.
+* Define volume meshing controls to use thin volume meshing.
+* Volume mesh with hexahedral cells.
+* Write a CDB file for use in the APDL solver.
+* Exit the PyPrimeMesh session.
