[ANSYS Meshing] Can't get a conformal mesh between bodies
[ANSYS Meshing] Can't get a conformal mesh between bodies
(OP)
I’m trying to solve a spar meshed with shell elements.
In order to get shell elements, I created 2D surfaces using “Surface from Face”
http://files.engineering.com/getfile.aspx?folder=5...
I formed a new part to identify it as a one body
http://files.engineering.com/getfile.aspx?folder=6...
But solution I get is wrong

PS -
2D body (DM)

3D body (Mechanical, after adding thickness)

RE: [ANSYS Meshing] Can't get a conformal mesh between bodies
I am not sure is there a geometry tollerance you could play with to close tha gaps between the 3 surfaces... The best way would be to create surfaces from adjusting faces or manualy close the gaps.
Once they are touching you will have common nodes and one piece part.
