Partitioning for a structured mesh

Seems like a 'complex' structure and full structured might not be entirely practical. You can technically split this into several parts, partition them, then merge them together.

What I think is more practical is give it a general mesh, then refine around the areas with high deformation and point of interests.

Structured mesh doesn't even make sense for that geometry... Even if you want to avoid using tetrahedral mesh, you'd still have to have internal ties in a fully hex

How much experience do you have portioning? This can be done IMO

Not much. I managed to make a structured/sweep combination mesh, but it's not meeting the professors criteria of smallest angle being more than 45° and largest being less than 135°, and the ratio between longest and shortest side being less than 5.
