Hi I have a event and I want to trigger destructable mesh to explode. I’m trying to apply damage and the damage treshold for destructable mesh is 1.0. What possibly wrong? Check out the image.

Ok I just gave enough damage to make it really go in pieces.

I just add the normal mesh to my level and on the event I replace it with the destructable by calling AddDestructableMesh (Just drag and drop the destrructable mesh in your level blueprint). It works for me. And the triangle count of the original mesh is probably a factor 3 lower than your destructable mesh, so good for performance.
