How to get rid of small surface edges
How to get rid of small surface edges
(OP)
Hello,
For meshing, i make midplane surface model out of my 3d model. During the process, i get very small surfaces, which i join with other surfaces. But join operation does not remove my small surface edges. So, in meshing i need to have very small elements to have better quality in these small surfaces. i would like to avoid this by removing the edges.Basically, i want to have one big surface without any in between edges. How to do it?
Thank you.

If I'm not mistaken, what he's looking for is a 1 piece surface. (no segmentation)
If that's what you are after, I usually re-create them by intersecting the joined surface with curves, using points to make them single piece sections, and running a new surface through the resultant curves.
Is that what you mean?

Check the online doc for more info.

i have no problem with joining. perfectly, works. After making one surface also, i could not avoid that edjes which i had earlier. During meshing, along these edges elements are created which is small and want to avoid.
Solid 7,
My problem: join operation, joins the surface. but does not remove the inbetween edge.
Itsmyjob,
I dont know catia meshing. Do u have any idea abt export options to abaqus. Do i need any extra translator.
Hope i am clear now.
Thanks,

may be you can trade you stand alone Abaqus for a AFC (Abaqus For Catia)
