Struct Analysis: Holes/features ignored/not being meshed (pic)

Struct Analysis: Holes/features ignored/not being meshed (pic)

(OP)
I have an assembly that I am meshing and for some reason these holes won't mesh on a specific part. Also some counterbores on some holes aren't meshing either. I've tried different things, like local mesh size and I cannot even choose the inside hole surface. No luck here. Any insight or tips? What's the issue?

Thanks.

I found my problem. My part body had an "extra" pad at the bottom of the partbody tree. It was the original entire profile which made my part hole-less again. In part design, the feature just above this ghost pad was the "work in object". I deleted the pad and viola! Sorry to waste space on the forums. (I was trying to delete this post but it doesn't seem to be possible.)

Hi,
Was hopping you could help with some insight to how to create a assembly analysis file.
I can get the file with the 2 parts that i need to load into the analysis work bench but no sure on how to connect
the 2 bodies together so the i can simulate the analysis.

Alpha,

You can use your existing assembly constraints to make the connections in your Assembly Analysis. Use the "Connection Properties" toolbox.

Without seeing more of your assembly, I'd start there and play around. You can also find some decent resources from google.
