Help with disconnected elements
(OP)
I have been working on FEA of differentail box using ANSYS. I have meshed the box using 2d elmenet Shell93. After my analysis my back plate is disconnected. I tried to concatenate areas, its not working.
Can anybody give me some suggestions this problem can be solved.
Thanks for your help

RE: Help with disconnected elements
Concatenating areas (ACCAT command) is meant specifically for meshing. I'm having a tough time visualizing what you're trying to do exactly so some clarification would be helpful. If you have nodes which are coincident you could try the NUMMRG command which will merge them into one. Or another idea may be to use some sort of coupling.
