How to glue bodies at common faces in Ansys workbench ?? (I cant use form parts option)))
(OP)
Hi,
i have four bodies in contact with common faces. I cant use "form a new part " feature for four parts. i didnt see any option to glue required solids. I am simulating fracture problem. For that, i want to glue three common faces, i dont want to glue fourth common face part. i am attaching screen shot. i think this can be solved by ansys apdl commands. but i am not familiar with apdl commands. So, can any one give idea to glue particular solids with apdl commands in workbench ???

by glue you mean bond? If that is what you mean, you must insert a contact region and define it by selecting the surfaces you want to bond, in contact definition you select "bond".

Toler is the tolerance applied when it decides which nodes to merge. Default is 1e-4. If the nodes are not quite coincident, specify a larger value. If you mesh size is at or near 1e-4, specify a smaller value.
