Will not be tied to the master surface assembly

Will not be tied to the master surface assembly

Will not be tied to the master surface assembly

(OP)
I am trying to tie 2 shell elements but It give me this error:

Slave node 1680 instance del3-1 will not be tied to the master surface assembly_m_surf-1. The distance from the master surface is greater than the position tolerance value.

I have tried everything but still its not working. I have used find pairs, did it manually, increased the tolerance even to the unreasonable values but still no solution. And because of this My work is stuck. I have to present the analysis to our customer by friday so please if anybody can quickly give any advice or help that will be really appreciated.

Note: I have also tried to change the master and slave position, played around with meshing as per google, I even created the parts again from the scratch. Here are the images if you are wondering:

Top PLate (Shell)


Base Plate (Shell)


I want to tie them together Top plate on the shell plate. (The size and dimensions of both the parts are same) I am using shell because of composite material.

Anyone? (Sorry for bumping)

RE: Will not be tied to the master surface assembly

Hello,

You can use the POSITION TOLERANCE under Tie Contact. Just give a value more than the gap between the Master and Slave under POSITION TOLERANCE in the TIE contact pair. It will certainly work.

Hope this will help you.

Regards,
Prasad
