NX Laminates draping
NX Laminates draping
(OP)
Hi NX CAE experts
When draping composites on a curved surface I get the message:
"Some faces are not contiguous" and NX will not let me drape on that surface.
Anyone with any idea how to get around this? Thanks in advance.

To the Toolmaker, your nice little cartoon drawing of your glass looks cool, but your solid model sucks. Do you want me to fix it, or are you going to take all week to get it back to me so I can get some work done?

For the projection solver (used to be called None), the contiguous surface requirement was removed in NX8.
If you think your faces are contiguous, it's possible there is a small gap. You can use the NX tools to remove the gap.
