I haven’t used it myself, but you could try the Cleaver extension and let us know how it goes:

FEA packages that can work with arbitrary geometries often have pre-processor component that can create volumetric mesh from surface mesh.

You may try Cleaver (either the Slicer extension or the command-line tool - https://www.sci.utah.edu/cibc-software/cleaver.html) or Solidworks built-in meshers (http://help.solidworks.com/2014/english/solidworks/cworks/c_background_on_meshing.htm).

I’ve added a new extension, Segment Mesher - it’ll be available in tomorrow’s nightly build. It can create volumetric meshes using either Cleaver2 or TetGen. See more information here: https://github.com/lassoan/SlicerSegmentMesher
