This CubeSat's geometry has been greatly simplified to reduce the complexity of the mesh and thus reducing the run-time of the modal analysis.  While this model only requires a reduction in element size, a more realistic CubeSat model would require mesh refinements and the application of different meshing methods.  In particular, when dealing with a larger, more complex isogrid (face of triangular stiffeners), the Sweep Method is a great tool for reducing skewness.
