Creating individual bodies in Workbench - Some show up as faint/transparent objects

Creating individual bodies in Workbench - Some show up as faint/transparent objects

Creating individual bodies in Workbench - Some show up as faint/transparent objects

(OP)
When creating my model in Ansys Workbench 14 I draw out the geometry and extrude it. For the first shape, the extrusion is generated as a solid object. However when trying to extrude other shapes, they appear as a transparent/faint objects.

What does this mean? How do I extrude an object so that it appears as a solid object rather than transparent.

Thanks

Tom

RE: Creating individual bodies in Workbench - Some show up as faint/transparent objects

(OP)
I would like to also add from further reading.

I have created two bodies, each appearing as unfrozen bodies. When creating the third body, it appears as frozen.

When trying to unfreeze the frozen body, all bodies merge in to one entity. I would like to unfreeze the third body and preserve the 3 individual objects.

RE: Creating individual bodies in Workbench - Some show up as faint/transparent objects

I am not an expert in DM but : do you extract them with which operation ? add frozen or add material ?

RE: Creating individual bodies in Workbench - Some show up as faint/transparent objects

(OP)
I create all bodies using the add frozen function. However, in the case of the third body, it appears that it is not frozen.
