Find unglued volumes
Find unglued volumes
(OP)
Hi all,
I recently found an error in an ansys model of mine:
parts which were not glued to each other. This seems to
happen quite easily and is not so straightforward to find.
Do you have any tricks to find unglued volumes (which touch each other)? Any scripts?
In principle, one should be able to dig out all the areas which overlap with each other but are not glued together...
Thanks for your comments.

I think the most straightforward way to check if volumes which should be glued are not, is to run a modal analysis and see if / where there are "independent" modes in several parts of the model.
Hope this helps,
