Mesh control with a shell mesh using mid-surfaces in COSMOS?
Mesh control with a shell mesh using mid-surfaces in COSMOS?
(OP)
Hello All,
I would think that this is no big deal, but I cannot apply a mesh control with a shell mesh using mid-surfaces. The part meshes fine, but it completely ignores the applied mesh controls. I am using CosmosWorks 2007 SP5.0 and SolidWorks 2007 SP5.0. I am able to successfully apply mesh controls on the part (a simple rectangular plate with a hole in it) when using a solid mesh and shell mesh using surfaces. Does anyone else have this problem? It drives me nuts when things don't work properly! I don't necessarily need to use a shell mesh using mid surfaces, but I don't see why I shouldn't be able to.
Thank you!

That is good to know. Thank you for your response! Hopefully, someone using 2007 will be able to give us some feedback as well (please...).

I was going to say it might due to insufficient RAM, but even with only 512 Megs, I was able to run a solids based mesh with nearly 800,000 degrees of freedom.
I've had a few other problems when doing the tutorial problems of SW's Designer Training Manual, such as Global Contact Gap results not working. But then after about 10 attempts, I did get correct results with the manual. Very weird.
If you find out what's going on here, please let me know.

Still stumped as to why it isn't working.

In your case, you could create a small ring around the hole using split lines. Remember to do split lines on both the parallel surfaces. Select the surfaces in this ring for Mesh control. It should work.
